I have got to stop looking at this thread every time I come back in the house. But it is too much fun. And I can see those 70's homes of ours just like it was yesterday.

Shirleevee,
You and I shared the same ever so exquisite taste in wallpaper. I have a picture of my daughter sitting at the kitchen table in front of said wallpaper and truly, at first glance, you really don't see her immediately.

My hubby macramed plant hangers for me, one even had a socket in it - so that I could light up my favorite plant, he also did an owl.
I still have some of the pieces he made. He also made me beautiful jewelry which I still wear.
S-in-law had wall paper hung upside down and I do not remember when finally someone realized it.

HB,
Those owls! I had forgotten all about those owls! And HB, a socket so you could light your favorite plant! I think you just may be winning the groovy award for this entire thread.
And thank you HB for letting me know that there were others out there in the 70's hanging that hideous wallpaper upside down and not knowing the difference.
And thank you also for reminding me about my hibiscus. You know, maybe that whole hostess ensemble, or whatever that thing was, might just do the trick. I am trying to remember what kind of shoes I wore with it though. For some reason I am thinking? --none. I don't know why.
Aw, c'mon. Surely I was not the only one wearing one of those getups when I had very special company back in the 70's. Not every time. But sometimes.
Sometimes I was more hip and served Sangria and beer, instead of those frozen daiqueris, and that Lipton Dried Onion Soup in sour cream chip dip and chips on my very special chip and dip plate.
A Sangria story:
A few weeks ago, I had a little get-together. (No, I did not wear the lovely hostess ensemb.) Anyway, one of our longtime, good friends said to me, "Hey, Boomer, ya know ya been servin' us Sangria since the 70's."
"And how's that been workin' for ya, Bobbo?" I said.
"Good, Boomer, good."
Well, I think I am hijacking again and I really must move forward with my life. For a little while anyway. Maybe next time I come back in here, I will actually talk about decorating trends and stop reliving my hostess outfit. I would not bet the farm though.
