Sears Merry Mushrooms

In 1968 I was filling my hope chest with embroidered tea towels.
I spent a week’s salary on a mushroom canister set in 1969.
Sears had a collection of mushroom kitchen items.
They were called the Merry Mushrooms.
I began embroidering new tea towels that matched the MMs.
Not realizing that mushrooms had anything to do with drugs.

LOL! Why are so many things ruined by negative connotations! Even I wondered at the merry mushrooms. Can I go on a rabbit trail? I love buttery mushrooms…on pizza, sauce, on steak, etc…etc… ;)
