Fall & Winter 1975

On Saturday we jumped in the car for a day of thrifting which was pretty much ampered by endless buckets of rain, so no garage sales.

We made it nevertheless to Gananoque, Ont home of the Gananoque Flea market.

I scored 2 Eaton's catalogs from 1975 and 1976. Now let's see...I was 10 years old in 1975 and even if I remember some of the UGLY fashions, I had no idea how ugly it all was.

So basically it's an endless source of post topics!

Being a Pyrex maniac, I was of course, eager to find some. There was none.

Instead I found this...


Corning Ware galore!

Now I'm surprised they made so much stuff with the Spice'O' life pattern...A spice
cabinet? A spice rack, a letter holder, a paper towel holder?
I also find some pieces quite expensive for 1975. The 9 cup percolator was $21.95!
And what about the Corelle dish set at the bottom?
A 20 piece set was $37.95.
Ans the minimum wage wasn't that much in 1975 so that was a pretty big hunk of change for some dishes.
The patterns? Butterfly Gold, Spring Blossom Green and Old Town Blue.

That's it for me, sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite!
