  1. Cute! Every time I see a tape, I think about the tapes my hub used to make me early on in his attempts too woo me (very high school). I also think about my walkman, that I still have. My 6yo saw it one day and looked at it like it was some fossil from another planet. Just another reason to feel OLD.

  2. Lovely photo. We are the proud owners of a 5 TAPE carousel. Oh yes, there is nothing like sitting back to relax to some tunes whilst listening to the clickity, clacking whir of the tapes changing over. :)
    Stopping by from SITS.

  3. visiting from SITS…tape players creep me out now, just like VCR’s lol

    I saw a Discman in Best Buy for $20…and remember fondly the one my dad bought me for Christmas that cost a couple of hundred dollars!! Technology is amazing stuff…

    • They were so expensive! I remember the first CD I ever bought was Pearl Jam’s ten for my brother’s 18th birthday. Now they are even old school!

  4. I’m not able to get rid of my tapes. I have such fond memories of making them. I even still have my Sony Water-Proof yellow Walkman (a Walk what?) to play them on.
    Talk about Old School SITSta, huh?

    • Wow – you still have one of those yellow walkmans! That is old school. Ha! I think I got rid of all my tapes – I don’t have anything to play them on, anyway.

  5. My son still has one of mine old CD Walkman (he wouldn’t caught dead using it) and I think that’s old school,lol. I don’t think my kids know what is cassette player

  6. I still have my yellow cassette walkman at my mom’s too… plus the mixed tapes from an early boyfriend… heck until last year I still had a tape player in my car (it was that old too..) My fave thing to scare my daughter’s friends with is our old cast iron rotary dial telephone… The first time they come over I make them figure out how to call their parents on it… priceless :) Thanks for the heap of nostalgia :)

    • My pleasure! A ROTARY phone! Oh my… that brings me back. One of my friends growing up had a party line – I think 3 families shared the line. Can you imagine that now?

  7. That’s a gorgeous photo! My daughter saw a phone with a spiraly cord plugged into the wall at her school the other day and stopped to stare at it for a couple of minutes before asking me what it was. (Not sure if it’s good or bad that her experience is limited to cell phones.) Retro, nostalgic, vintage, old … I felt all of those adjectives in that moment!
