My Mom cringes at most of my vintage "finds" Some of the mugs I've found in their garage are "awful" and "I remember when those were new-so gawdy" Of course I have old photos of them gathered around the aluminum tree she now laughs at when I whip out every year and decorate with plastic cheesy Christmas crap. My chrome kitchen set and plastic dishes are so "tacky" but that's why I love them now! I do hope my son grows up to show me the tacky tikis he found at thrift stores but I can't see things being made more cheaply. Can't you see them saying "look at the thick plastic-they don't make 'em like that anymore!" I hope we all live that long [ Edited by: laney on 2002-07-31 11:30 ]
