You may have received the email that has been going around about the people remodeling their home and finding a Sears catalog from the early 1970s.

Well, I just purchased a 1974 Sears Catalog at an auction and have had a blast going through it. My youngest daughter has just about broken ribs laughing at how we used to dress “way back then.” You know, it doesnt’ seem like it was all that long ago.

I will admit that the colors were a tad off and the big bold geometric patterns were a bit weird but we all looked the same and boy were we ever cool.

What gets me is the matching wallpaper, shower curtain, toilet cover, etc. I don’t know how we knew where anything was as it all kinda blended in together.

What was down right ugly were some of the carpets and rugs, ick.

I will scan some pictures in so that you can all relive those glorious days.
