1970s Collectibles Featured At Memory Too Antiques, Coventry, CT

Lots of Funky 70s Stuff At Memory Too Antiques

I love visiting a shop I have been too a dozen times or more and finding new dealers. That was the case yesterday when I ventured out to Coventry, Ct. to one of my favorite group shops, "Memory Too Antiques".  As a frequent  visitor to this shop, I know the aisles quite well. And I have a sense of comfort when I visit my favorite kitchen collector vendors. But yesterday...I had a big surprise, a new dealer who sells 1960s and 1970s STUFF Of so much fun to be had.  You couldn't miss this booth, the colors were popping out all over the place, especially ORANGE, Navy and Brown. The 1970s had colors that were slightly toned down from the Flower Power generation. Geometrics, abstracts, and bold colors were still present.

Groovy Flower Power Pillows Made From Plonka Home Of Norway

Exciting 1960s And 1970s Colorful Mod Fabric Pillows

Have a little fun. jazz up your Living room or "Media room" with some BOLD COLORFUL PRINTS in some wonderful combinations of rust, orange, brown, yellow, gold, olive green.

Finally, I found some groovy pillows made from original 1960s and 1970s Mod fabric. Introducing Plonka Home Of Norway

These colorful Flower Power decorative accessories are made by Plonka Home . of Norway, a shop i found on Etsy.com. Created as 16 inch pillow cases, the front is original fabric and the back is a high quality linen according to their shop descriptions.

Mixing Mod With Today's Style

These bold designs of flowers, geometrics and abstracts would compliment today's "Transitional Style" where updated furniture styles are mixed with retro and vintage elements such as wall decor, pillows and textiles. Priced at $24.00 with an $8.00 shipping charge, these funky pillows are still way more reasonable than finding new pillows or having custom made pillows made from a decorating service.

Where Does Plonka Find Her Groovy Fabrics?

I'm not sure where this gal finds her fabrics, but she sure does have a beautiful collection of 1960s and 1970s patterns in a variety of authentic palettes.

Some people add pillows at the end of their decorating make-overs. But surely one could start with these pillows and build a fabulous room around them.
