According to Etsy, items must be at least 20 years old to qualify for the vintage category. Twenty years. How can this be? That’s like…yesterday!
Anyway, I pulled two definitions from answer.com.
1. Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic.
2. Old or outmoded.
I choose #1.
During my search for Etsy Monday items I caught myself saying repeatedly “I had one of those!”, so today’s Etsy post is going to be more personal than usual. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the hunt!
1973 HALTER TOP AND BELL BOTTOM HIP HUGGER PANTS OR SHORTS SEWING PATTERN
My favorite pants from high school! My mom made a lot of clothes for me and although this wasn’t the exact pattern we had for bell bottoms, it’s pretty close.
Vintage White Faux Pearl Necktie Necklace 60s 70s
I had one of these cuties and wore it often.
We didn’t have a mug like this, but I was born and raised in Nebraska and graduated from high school in 1974! (Man, did I just admit that?)
I attended a rural elementary school with grades K-8 in one room. Everyone brought lunch and this is exactly like the lunch box (dinner bucket) I had when I was in 7th and 8th grades. I still have it and the vinyl tape label with my name is still intact .
VINTAGE Pyrex Serving or Mixing Bowl
We received one of these bowls for a wedding gift in 1976 and I still use it regularly.

Do you remember sitting under one of these with brush rollers in your hair?
Vintage 60s Malcolm Starr Mod Psychedelic Mini Dress Coat Set M – NOSWT
I didn’t know anyone who owned this ensemble, but isn’t that the coolest fabric! It reminds me of Laugh-in!
I hope you had fun with my blast from the past. These sellers have tons of great vintage items in their shops. Go have a look! Thanks to the Etsians who participated in Etsy Monday:)
Wow, you found some awesome vintage items! I especially love that pattern. I do remember those old hair dryers too. Seems dangerous now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog and article! It was certainly a blast from the past, seeing all of the great 'flower power' vintage of the period. :) Thank you for including my dress set (and yes -- it does remind me of "Laugh-In" also, lol). :)
ReplyDeleteHello and thanks for adding my lunch box. Your article brought
ReplyDeleteback many happy memories. Thanks for sharing!
Come on, I don't FEEL vintage! I graduated in 1975, have a whole SET of those bowls (without the "ears" on the sides that were wedding presents, and yes I remember those hair dryers! And I graduated just to the north of you in SD!
