    Man, I hope your wife isn't reading this.

      How about mushroom-shaped kitchen canisters? Every appliance was "harvest gold" color.

        Had the spoons and the calendars. Only smoker in the family died from it when I was very young, my grandpa, and I have his ashtrays right here in my office with me.

                Perhaps not all in my house but definitely all those items were at one relative's house or another. I always wanted to try to eat with the big spoon.
                My Gram also had a wall clock that was shaped like a huge wristwatch with the band unlatched.

                      I still have the String Art Batman from my Childhood.

                      It's currently hanging in my Toy Room.

                        Neither of my parents smoke, but we had at least 10 different ashtrays all stylishly-shaped and earth-toned. No String art. The kitchen had the hanging linen but it was a display of different herbs and spices, no calendar.
                        It's all good!

                                10 YEARS LATER AND I'M BRINGING IT BACK BABY!!

                                A new list of things that seemed to in so many homes back in the day. How many of these ubiquitous 70s things were in your household?

                                One of those creepy Russ Berrie or Love Is... statues.



                                Anything mushroom shaped, but these canisters in particular


                                Jean Nate might have been assigned to all women between 1970 and 1979


                                You at least knew somebody with lucite grapes on their coffee table.


                                They came in the most 70s shades of brown, yellow and green, but you probably had the orange Tupperware pitcher push seal


                                Brushes, soaps, bubble baths... who didn't get an Avon product back in the day
                                WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.
