@CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal Still the greatest part of growing up in the '70s.

@GaryPoole @BrazenlyLiberal
And there were a lot of wonderful things about growing up in the 70's. This was fantastic.

My aunt used to give us her old Sears book. We'd cut out pics of furniture and spit-glue them to the sides of cardboard boxes to make houses. Then we'd cut out clothes & draw paper dolls to wear them and live in the house

@BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole
Sis and I did similarly. After Christmas was over and we would wear it ragged until the next year. Miss those days.

Also Spiegel catalog. Just seeing all the fashion trends was exciting for Midwest girl.

@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole
My grandma always got this catalog. Yes, loved it too.

@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole Never saw even one but it was frequently mentioned on old school "let's make a deal".

@MidnightRider @LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole . I still remember "Chicago Illinois, 60609."

@TR_forester6291 @MidnightRider @LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole
That is crazy. I didn't remember, but it popped into my memory when you said it. Crazy how it was still there.

@TR_forester6291 @LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole After you typed it I remembered like Cinny, good one! I remember LSMFT Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, now it's Jardiance instead of nicotine, we've come so far.

@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @GaryPoole

Yes, my mother & aunts were all *very* serious about Spiegel's. Sears was "maybe" - Spiegel was "now we're getting serious"

@BrazenlyLiberal @CinnamonGirlE @GaryPoole

Yep. I circled many an item as must-have.
