That’s what I was thinking too, but I couldn’t remember for sure. There’s a lot that I don’t remember about the 60s.....

They do say that if you remember the 60s you didn't experience the 60s.

I have a piece of fabric that I bought about 45 years ago. It still has the little sticker on it that says, " JC Penney,4 yds./$1.00" and the pattern is tiny brown paisley with orange flowers. I bought it to make something for one of my little girls..........now she doesn't want anything made out of "THAT"!!! :) :) :)

Kind of disappointed in the original thread thread for jumping on tacomama over one word and also that I guess I'm not "vintage", I know I'm not "collectable" so I guess I am just dang "OLD"...

People need to get over themselves.

Just go ahead and offer your fabric for trade and if they don't like it, someone might.
Ditto!

I would consider it vintage, but not antique.

TacoMama, call what you like. If someone is going to argue your semantics, they aren't buying the fabric! If they want the fabric, it doesn't matter what you called it unless you said it was skunked!
I remember the 60's, I was too young to experience them then, or my mother wouldn't let me 'experience' them.
I've been married almost 40 years, so we are almost vintage ourselves, possibly antique. We are out of date since many marrigaes don't last the 7 year itch.

Barbara Sue,We are right about the same age I guess. We will be married 40 years in December. I remember some of the 60s better than the first part of the 60s. Thanks for your comment.

Old Hen, that paisley sounds pretty. I love paisley. My Daddy is 84 years old and he didn't know what paisley was. He lives in OK and my sister showed him some of Mom's things which were paisley.
