I had forgotten about these!!!

I sometimes wonder who buys these and how often they are laundered...

Everyone's grandparents had one of those dripping oil ("rain") lamps.

I made a bunch of macrame bracelets when I was in high school. Sold a lot of them too.

absorbent cloth and bodily excretions in close proximity to one another, what could possibly go wrong.

Making leather bracelets was popular when I was a kid. We tooled them and colored them.

Sears had a whole display of oil lamps. I loved them so much, but my parents never bought one. We didn't have much disposable income.

I also remember that Sears had a dishwasher with a clear door so you could see how the water cleaned. I always wanted to stop by and see that, too. Not a lot of people had dishwashers in those days.
