Is everything that was old new again?

camping tables with stools image

I heard two different women say that in Hancock's Fabric Store this afternoon while I was shopping for sewing patterns. I later looked at fabrics and some some prints that reminded me of the 50's and 60's....French textile prints that were popular back then, western prints, muted stripes and prints, and a good selection of other fabrics. There are also "retro" and "vintage" patterns in every pattern book. I am wondering if 50's style appliances and tables will make a return or if the older eras are being promoted by popular movies and tv shows?

Answer
It's not just fashion. Look for 1950s retro in kitchen appliances & furniture too.

"Retro Revival is looming large this season because in tough times people long for the comforts of the past. You can take part in this trend economically because retailers are creating all kinds of small home accessories in retro designs that are affordable. Think retro for any space in need of a cheerful pick me up. The kitchen is a great place to start, with retro mugs, glasses, stools, clocks and coffee makers, nostalgia never looked so new. "

With electrical costs rising, I hope that hand operated machinery returns. I'd like a cheap coffee grinder. I had wanted it for camping but then our city began experiencing power outages during peak usage. I was hammering my coffee beans in a sack and boiled in a pot on the gas oven.
It's nice to have back up appliances for when the power goes out.

Amazon also has a huge selection of vanity tables and sets.
