Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 05, 2022

I have such a lamp!!

Very seventies furniture.

It’s tough being a cracker.

OMG…we ALL had lights like this.

I want that furniture!

We had chairs like that when I was growing up. After my folks died, we donated it all to the Salvation Army. I’ve seen some of it on Antiques Roadshow and apparently some of it is worth quite a bit nowadays. Who knew?

My Mom had a lamp like that.

Ha! Out of deep sleep, my cat wakes when he hears me walking in the kitchen

Put the crackers out of their misery, Rover.

And yes, I think anyone living in the 70s had that lamp. Pretty decent reading lamp, actually.

No comments about lamps or crackers, just one about those two little tufts on top of Rover’s head—I just love them!

Hand some over, Red

Had the version of the lamp in teal, coral, and mint green. It was great! Several years later I sold it to a fifties shop in Chicago for big bucks. Found it on the curb! Mint!!

Fifties furniture

Rover must be losing some hearing. My dog would have been by my side just from touching the box.

What beautiful furniture. Very ‘50s.

An Eames chair! My folks had one of those!

It so seventies, which never was fond! Too stark for my taste.
