Remember When!!

Saddle shoes....and bobby socks.

penny loafers

I remember there were little cartoons on the bubble gum wrappers. I remember penny candy. On Sundays, my dad would walk down to a little store to buy the paper and we kids would come along & each get a dime to spend on candy. The penny candy was in jars & some of them were two candies for a penny (those gummy like coins or raspberries). If you wanted to gamble, you could put your money in the gumball machine. If you got a striped gumball, it was worth 10 more cents!

I remember getting stars from my piano teacher. Gold for a great job, silver might pretty good & downhill from there.....

or copper tone appliances. And green or gold bathroom tub toilet and sinks.

JO, yes I remember clothing made from feed sacks. Hadn't thought about that for a long time!

Spookiesmom, your GMA must have been a soul of patience-- one inch squares, what a treasure you have.

My first house had that exact same pink and black wall tile. I absolutely loved it!
Growing up we had an aqua bathroom and a blue bathroom; sinks, tubs, toilets and wall tile aqua in one bathroom blue in the other. Avocado green appliances (and carpet) in the kitchen.

I remember that all the moms wore aprons over their dresses (which they wore all the time) when they were cooking & baking (which they did every day).

Ruth, the quilt is lovely and what a good story!

Ceanna, me! I have my mother's photo album from when she was in college in the 1920s. Very few of the pictures are labeled and most of the ones that are use a one word nickname.
