Pierrot

When I was a teenager Pierrot was very popular. My sister and I had posters like these and stationery with these pictures on it as well. I even bought my sister a Pierrot clock one year for her birthday or Christmas.

Retractable Light

We had a light fixture similar to this one in our kitchen. You could pull it down but we never did, except when we were fooling around and then Mom would tell us to "put that light back".

Plymouth Rock Salt & Pepper Shakers

Mom had a set of salt & pepper shakers like this, Plymouth Rock. My uncle, who lived in Boston, must have gave them to her.

Red Handled Ricer

Mom had several red handled kitchen tools, this ricer was one of them. I remember seeing it in the kitchen drawer but I never saw her use it.

Frustration Pencils

My sister and I bought these one year before Christmas. I think I was in grade 6 or 7 and I remember it vividly. We were in Corner Brook shopping with our parents. We were at Woolworths on West Street and the store had a small Christmas tree decorated with the frustration pencils. They had a little tag attached to them with this saying: "When you're frustrated and don't know what to do, twirl me between your hands and I'll blow my top for you". We thought they were so neat.

Rooster Potholder

My aunt had a potholder like this, it had a magnet in the loop and she kept it on the side of her fridge. Funny the little things I remember.

School Desk

This was the type of desk I used when I was in elementary school, in the 70's. I haven't been in a classroom in a long time so I don't know if this type of desk is still in use.
