Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

Cotton Candy Pink, that's what color the bathroom in our first house was. The house was built in 1954 or 55. Pink appliances too. The seat cover was foam padded, which was un-nerving to say the least...

Later

WOWZA! Do you have any pics of your first house and the bathroom, I love to see them if you do Foam padded seat lol

I mostly like primary colours. Red, blue, white, yellow, black, and secondary colours like purple, biege and orange.

Blue love it and purple, a deep shade of purple.

Do you do callighapy writing with the fountain pens?

You're welcome. One of the many reasons I cannot wait to get married is because I can have a pink bathroom without anyone thinking anything funny of it. lol

lol Are you getting married soon?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I'm going to say no. Getting married usually means someone has to wanna marry you lol
I am actually recently single and the ex and I were hearing wedding bells not long before the break-up.

:cry: Sorry to hear that! Looks like you'll have to put the pink bathroom on hold lol

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Thank you It's been tough, but I'm tough, so I'll live lol I am more upset about putting the pink bathroom on hold than her leaving. I'll have to stick with turquoise for the time being.

Miss Sofia,

Kia-ora in plastic cartons - that's just brought back memories of Saturday morning pictures, munching on Spangles and Sherbet Fountains, watching cartoons, with the requisite "Pearl & Dean" trailers!

For the benefit of those who live across the pond, what is Kiaora?

 

[Amy Jeanne]

"Take my wife, please!" style of humour/comedy.

Kahuna,

Sure, no problem. Kia-Ora was an orange drink, sold in square plastc cartons, and was synonymous with early trips to the cinema, during the 60's and 70's. It was the staple refreshment, along with hot dogs and popcorn.

It's name is actually a Maori greeting, for "good health".

Cheers,

Danny O

I'll be more than happy to. I do very much like the big bay window on the front of the house. It's also on a triple lot with no neighbors.

Also, glass milk bottles, don't so those anymore.

Bay windows..very nice

Hey! I was gana say glass milk bottles. I was just talking about them the other day. I think it would be fantastic if they were to make a come back. Plastic bottles are a waste of resources in my opinion.

Wow thats quite bizaar, a drink with a New Zealand greeting all the way in America!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Agreed. I try to buy as much as I can in glass. I have a ton of 'glasses' that once were Ragu containers, they also work great for holding nails, push-pins, twist ties, etc.
