Well, when I was looking around on the site I came across a huge blast from the past!
You ready to see it??
Ta-dah!!
Holy patchwork, Batman!
Please don't adjust the color on your monitor, you are seeing it correctly.
Yikes!
This was the furniture pattern my parents bought back in the 1970's. I remember them going to Montgomery Wards and picking out the set. Although we did not have this rocker. We had the couch and loveseat.
When I saw the rocker for sale it threw me right back in time. It was wonderful! Heck, I can't believe what great shape it's in!!
I immediately emailed the link to my mother to get her reaction.
When I talked to her, her response was, "What was I thinking when I picked out that pattern with those colors??!!" We both laughed.
I have no idea what she was thinking, but I came really close to buying it for myself! I guess it is true when they say "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Maybe this is why I've always had a love for patchwork.
((giggle))
Happy Tuesday, everyone.

LOL, in my first home I decorated the kitchen walls with an aqua, white and harvest gold print wallpaper and had harvest gold appliances and thought I was the best decorator in the world! NOT!!!!!
Hee-hee!!! I hear you, Judi!
I always remind myself that at one time I had mauve carpeting installed in my living room.
I also had lots of shiny brass fixtures and a brass coffee table with a smoky glass top. Ahhhh... the 80's.
My how my taste has changed.
Thank the good Lord above. (giggle))
I watched a home improvement show today and a realtor stated when it comes to buying homes, NO ONE wants 1980's decor.
Oh well... I'm still not giving up my mauve Tupperware.

It was a sweet thought of you!
Hadn't really thought of it, but this may be why I am so fond of plaids! My mother had a plaid sofa and chair in our living room for years and years! She also had a wide wale corduroy chair and I love that particular type of corduroy! Interesting....
Thanks for reminding me....
Thanks, Earlene. :> )
Peri I am very fond of plaid too. It's so warm and inviting. I bet that corduroy chair was comfortable!
