Found this at a thrift store. Dated Oct. 1971. In Oct. 1971 I was not thinking about crafting. I was thinking about packing my car for my move from Alabama to Oregon. Let's see what I missed.... |
 |
Instead of "risking my life", as some people saw it, I could have made this awful outfit out of a kit. |
 |
Or I could have been "marrying ancient crafts". |
 |
I remember these cute little bags from the late 60's. The magazine even gave two pages of mushrooms for your use. |
 |
| sorry about the glare The colors look a little psychedelic to me. |
 |
Hmmmm, psychedelic mushrooms. I think not. |
 |
Instead of gazing over the rim of the Grand Canyon, I could have been making Christmas ornaments like these. Now I just look for them in thrift stores and at sales. |
 |
Rather than driving along and seeing beautiful scenery, looking forward to my full independence, having more fun than I could imagine, I could have been cutting up bottles. I wouldn't trade my trip for the fun this magazine suggested, but I do enjoy looking through it and remembering those good old days!! |

ohhh...I think I need a mushroom purse!
so glad you came to Oregon!
I like the mushrooms. Go figure - LOL! When we bought this house the kitchen had yellow walls, orange cabinets, green countertops and appliances and mushroom curtains. With ball fringe. Almost forgot that part. Those were the days, alright!
Hooray for 'risking your life!' :-)
Is it just me or does everyone in these photos look like Shirley Partridge or Sonny & Cher?
Oh how I could relate to so many of those things from the 70s. Wow! Hugs! Florence
good Lord....macrame....
It seems all very funny now. Wonder what these girls, who made these things, would have thought about our crafts.
Probably what we think about this.
Many hugs, Evi
I don't know, Annette....it all looks pretty darn groovy to me!
(maybe not the outfit though. The outfit is pretty scary.)
