Old sheet

I was making the bed the other day, and suddenly realized that the sheet I was using is at least thirty years old. Not so old for a sheet, I guess, but old enough. It's still in great shape, and I remember buying it because it was the first set of sheets I ever bought for a king-size bed. The color scheme (pink and blue) and pattern also bring back the era of the 1980s for me.

I don't think I have any older sheets than this one. It made me think about what kinds of things I have around the house that are oldish - not in the sense of being antiques, but in the sense of being ordinary, everyday things that have been in use for at least a quarter of a century. This sounds like a project!
