Last Week's Finds

A week ago Saturday, I was on my way to the thrift store (to donate) when I happened on an estate sale. Good thing too since the thrift store had absolutely nothing of interest (even though I was "just" donating). I bought a few things at the sale. The tin is very similar to one I had back in the 70s and 80s, and the mythology book, I think, is the same one we were required to read in freshman english (can't tell you how often I've used that information... cough... cough).

Are you familiar with M.C. Escher? In a high school art class we were assigned to create a picture like those below. Begin with one shape and end up with another. For the life of me, I can't remember what mine looked like. It might come to me yet.

Let's take a closer look at the 1973 Woman's Day magazine. Here's an ad for Sears towels. Question: what ever happened to color? Wouldn't some of these liven up a bathroom?

Who remembers these Scotties boxes?  I do!

And who remembers the term "elephant pants?"

Pretty mod.

This is an ad in the back of the magazine. I remember seeing these around town.

My mother had a stash of these pull-out cooking pamphlets. I had forgotten all about them until I found this inside the magazine.

Lots of nostalgia for 25 cents.

Enjoy!
