Fun article, Sandy. Thanks for reviving some great memories!
My collegiate sorority had owls as a symbol, and I am sure we all would have loved a macrame owl for our rooms! After all, macrame was pretty ubiquitous at that time.
In college we also were into the candles in the wine bottles.
I never had the brick and board bookcases, but I knew people who did.
One trend I think you forgot -- or maybe we only did it in Wisconsin: Those round wooden tables made of
phone company cable reels... Thankfully I don't have any of these in my house anymore!
