Which Of These Items Were In Your 70's Decor

[RonnyG]

My mom was into macrame. She made a hanging art wall piece, and some basket hangers for her plants. We had the linen wall calendars. My Aunt had the giant wooden spoons.
What about those starburst wall clocks? Anyone have those? We had one from the 1960s that hung in our livingroom well into the 1980s.

Of the new stuff-lots of Tupperware, my mom hosted a few Tupperware parties over the years. Those pitchers were ubiquitous.

Lots of Avon stuff too, my mom's sister sold Avon for years and years, so we had a few things, but my the shelves of my aunt's house were filled with Avon tchotchkes and resembled some of the pics of toy rooms here except Avon stuff instead of toys.

No Russ berry stuff per se, but my dad's sister was big into Hummels and they were all over the place.

From the post from 10 years ago (since I wasn't around here back then)

-linen calendar
-copper plates for wall hangings
-giant forks and spooks

however, my mom and all my aunts were all into ceramics, so all kinds of ceramic pieces were ubiquitous, form the giant headed sports figures I always got as Christmas gifts to all kinds of holiday decor.

sports figures like these...




but mine had New England Whalers uniforms

and things like ceramic Christmas Trees...



or Santa & Mrs. Claus



the Christmas igloo



light up jack o'lanterns...



and so many more...

I came across the lucite grapes once or twice in elementary school. I remember the students used to try and pass them off as boulders when playing marbles. I honestly forgot about them till I saw the image.

Also, macrame basket hangers And anyone recall Artex Liquid Embroidery?

I actually had hanging macrame hanging plant baskets but made a last minute switch with Avon.

Linen calendar--check, every year for decades
Copperware--check, Mom still displays it, she had copperware parties
Tupperware--check
Avon--just a bit of the novelty stuff, like pictured

Also, macrame basket hangers And anyone recall Artex Liquid Embroidery?

We had all but the last one. Those mushroom ones we had the exact same ones pictured. Most of this stuff was found and Pic N Save. Similar to Big Lots.
They had Megos too.

Tupperware we did have, Avon I honestly can't remember... Maybe we did, but I would've been too young to even notice it

[Wee67]

Actually none this time

Did you have Avon growing up? Or Tupperware? I have no idea how widespread they were.

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

I still have the String Art Batman from my Childhood.

It's currently hanging in my Toy Room.

That's actually pretty cool

[Cmonster]

Giant fork and spoon for sure.

oh man I should get the camera out and take pictures of stuff my parents still have hanging on the walls.

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.
