It's been years since I've seen an ashtray in a home (a good thing) and now all Tennessee restaurants are non-smoking, which is also nice.<br />My parents never had a hall tree, but I do remember all the kitchen gadgets.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-79264038680834922142010-09-07T13:12:44.127-04:002010-09-07T13:12:44.127-04:00Time--it is a-changin', Rose!!!!

Most anytime we are riding in the country, there are houses --which are full of JUNK in and around their yards (old frig's, junk cars, etc. etc. etc.)... I cannot imagine how people can live in places like that... <br /><br />Being cluttered with flowers and things like that is OKAY... BUT--having junk around is NOT... <br /><br />I do remember those coat trees and I remember ash trays... These days, I cannot stand being around someone who is or has smoked... It's for sure that they aren't welcome in our home!!!! Glad that Tennessee's restaurants are now NON-SMOKING... Yeah!!!!<br /><br />Hope you have a great week.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-57343025745371741652010-09-07T11:19:42.923-04:002010-09-07T11:19:42.923-04:00A fine nostalgic post!

It still must have value, or people don't want to pay to dispose of it.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683101466651668784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-8282012881024142922010-09-07T10:56:48.591-04:002010-09-07T10:56:48.591-04:00I know what you mean about places like in your pic...I know what you mean about places like in your pic - I just call it junk, but one man's junk is another's treasure!

This house looks like a "lived in" place....where function and practicallity are more important than looks. I tend to be that way. I like to leave stuff where I use it and not hide it away to please other people that I don't even know. I would probably have a hall tree if I had a place for one. We had a cheap one in the basement for awhile by the door leading outside. I have a beautiful ashtray stand....we called it a smoking stand....that my father turned out of wood. He loved making them and everyone in the family ended up with one. I have used it as a plant stand and now use it as a small table by a couch to set a drink on. Will send you a photo of it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-27113964572523857262010-09-07T06:44:28.140-04:002010-09-07T06:44:28.140-04:00I enjoyed this post, Rose.

I guess we have been around long enough to see a few things come and go, which just goes to show that so much of what we have we really do not need.<br /><br />That front yard really is loaded with "treasures." I enlarged the photo and was even more amazed. :)EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.com
