Hey Bong! You said it! 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
