^ a little nightmare fuel right there.

Yup. I hate Witches.

Brushes, soaps, bubble baths... who didn't get an Avon product back in the day

I still have the football player brush, but no longer have the kind of hair it works on.

When were "kitchen witches" a thing? Outside of Halloween I don't recall seeing any witches hanging up in our kitchen or in anyone elses.

I'd say around 79ish, I remember they were sold at "Potpourri" stores.

Our neighbor, my mom's friend, had one. I always thought she was sophisticated becasue she wore kaftans. She reminded me of Mrs. Roper--which made her seem exotic because we were not allowed to watch Three's Company or Maude (too racy).

My Granny had those.

Babysitter had the giant wooden utensils.

PS. All other items are familiar, though. So, someone I knew had them.

Here's another '70s relic. This knick knack shelf hung in my Grandma's living room throughout the 1970s & 1980s (1960s, too). When she died, I wanted it. It's a perfect way to display my Vinylmation collection! I thought about painting it another color, but I just don't have the heart to alter it. Too many memories. Anyone else remember this shelf?

Thanks for the info folks, "Kitchen witches" are new to me!

Heh, my parents were pretty laid back but my mom had an issue with Three's Company too and wouldn't let us watch it at first either. When I finally secretly watched it awhile later I thought "That's it? What's the big deal?" I probably thought I was going to see boobs or something.
