70's Playlist


I am a child of the 70's

I was born in the 60's
1966 to be exact!

Music has always been & always will be a major influence in my life
It is always playing in my mind
I can think of a song to fit most situations or events in my life
There is always a soundtrack playing for me!

Here are some that remind me of my childhood-


Maxine Nightingale




Jackson 5 
Check out Bill Cosby in this clip, nice du
Love the Jackson 5 outfits, stylin'
Kinda sad to think of how MJ's life changed so dramatically


Elton John & Ki Ki Dee




Bay City Rollers



The Carpenters...my first concert, yeah, that's right!



James Taylor


And of course, the Beatles
Let It Be
(don't just ignore the foreign writing, this is a great version of the song)

"Vintage" Canisters


A gift from my aunt & uncle

These A-DOR-A-BLE

mushroom canisters



Can they be any more 70's????

So there is a story as to why these are now sitting in my kitchen

Growing up, we lived right next door to my aunt & uncle
These canisters sat in her kitchen for years
they were such a part of the backdrop of my childhood years
where we spent hours with her cooking, painting our nails, chatting and just being loved

Fast forward 30+ years
These precious treasures from my past were passed on to me!
My Aunt came to visit and gave them to me
"Honey, they have been sitting in my basement for years.
I knew you loved them so I wanted you to have them!"

They have a special place in my heart & now they have a special place in my kitchen

I {heart} them so much
I love you Aunt J!

Also, do you not love my curio cabinet?
It is a flea market find!
it is made from salvaged window frames!
