For someone as
Well, last week I celebrated my birthday and my sister managed to round up a few more 70s goodies to add to my family room (which is not a monstrosity, I don't care what she says). Makes me wanna pull out some bell-bottom trousers and listen to Bobby Sherman...
My sister (known to the Inmates as Uncle Chester) found this lovely bit of vintage needlework at an antique store and my mother whipped it up into a pillow. Nothing says class like tangerine and marigold... |
Despite her aversion to the colors, my sister crocheted this owl and managed not to vomit. (She gives the details, including a link to the free pattern here.) |
Tupperware! She rounded up a new-in-the-bag set of spice jars in green, orange, yellow, and brown, as well as two Tupperware hostess books from 1970, the year I was born. |
Oh, how I wish I could go back to my Grandma's Tupperware party in the early 70s and get my hands on THOSE. |
My own bird bath with an owl on top... Yes, there is a fowl-ish theme here. |
A table and benches in my colors and a yard decoration with a disco ball on top. |
Despite my preteen son's behavior of late, which involves a lot of daydreaming about when he moves out and asking me, "Doesn't it bother you to be the worst mother in the world?", his gift proves I must be doing something right. His father took him shopping and he bought me yarn. Yes, the boy knows my other obsessions as well, but what is truly impressive is the one skein of multi-colored acrylic he picked out:
The Vulcan later told me that The Professor spotted that skein in the store and said, "Hey, that's Mom's 70s colors" and plucked it right up. Makes my heart swell...

Hey, where did you put the fairy house? I can't quite tell from the picture.
These are not my favorite objects or colors, but in your house they look good.

I was driving home from work today when David Cassidy came on singing "I Think I Love You." My mind went directly to you!!
We've all been joking around about how the "colors" this year are supposedly 70's yellow and green---the old adage.... all goes around/comes around; apparently you are very "in"!!!!
They look so pretty i love them..
Love your sense of style. I'm sure your son will come around too!
