Avocado & Gold

Avocado & harvest gold were the "in" colors in the late 1960s and early 1970s

These swivel racks have been in my kitchen since Harvest Street (perhaps at Oxley Road, prior to Harvest Street). Then they went to North Street. Then Kirkland Avenue - and wherever we go next. 

I recently came across these table cloths. I made the bottom one with the fringe when we moved into our Harvest Street home.The top one was with us on Oxley Road in Columbus, before we bought the house on Harvest Street. Here's that table cloth on Oxley Road at Michael's first birthday party (August 1969)

The metal cabinets in our kitchen at Harvest Street 

were a yellowish-gold - June 1970

Side Notes: - Glasses on table at Oxley Road - These were in Duz detergent. Mom collected an entire set of them and gave them to us when we were married or shortly thereafter. Pyrex bowl in bottom picture - John and I received a set of three of these bowls as a wedding gift. Joe and I are still using two of them. The third bowl broke sometime in the last 48 years. 

What "in" colors are you using now that you'll find in your home almost 50 years from now? Kind of strange to contemplate, isn't it?
