SAVING THE 70's, ONE PIECE AT A TIME



 Yesterday's thrifting find: 2 1970's sportcoats.


 I came across this rack of duct tape at Target. To think I've been using the retro silver stuff! So many choices. The rolls on the far right are One Direction (yeah, the boy group) duct tape. Guess they must be popular or something.


 Made a pear pie today. Pears, sugar and cardamon, yum!


This was in the pocket of one of the sportcoats. $15.00 for a tank of gas on Jan. 11. 1978!

We went to an auction preview today for an on-line auction. Put bids on all kinds of things. I have my limits, and won't know what I won until Tuesday evening. Send me some luck!

I have to go in extra hours this week at work, it's getting to the crazy time. The costumes look awesome and, of course, I'll be posting some photos when that happens.

  4. I'll probably end up using them in a show. 1970's men's wear is getting hard to find
