If you're my generation, invented and still popular since 1963....do you remember the craze of the Lava Lamps? Did you have one? I did...and still do. I actually plugged it in and it still works!! I read online, which made me want to start mine again, that even today they sell close to 800,000 of these a year.
Wow, so yours is one of the originals! I bet it would be worth some money. I never had one, but always admired them.
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe not an 'original' but I've had quite a while!
DeleteI never had one. I always liked them but never got one. I'm trying to remember if my brother ever did or not. I know he had a black light bulb in his bedroom ceiling light fixture for a while.
ReplyDeleteBlack lights & lava lamps go together.
Deletei remember them, but never had one. seems Ann and Ginny are like me, and remember but did not have one... and yours still works. i could entertain myself for hours taking photos of it... my boys born in 65 and 67 had blacklights when they were teens..
ReplyDeleteNever had black lights.
DeleteI think I might have had one in the sixties, but it's a dim memory. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou & I...we surely went with the flow back then, didn't we? 😁
DeleteI remember those, but I never had one. Love those colors!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow glass make it.
DeleteHi Anni I just saw your comment about Colorado...I had to share this link on my personal blog My Mind's Eye from June 2017 We finally traveled to Colorado last June. I think you might get a big chuckle out of the post.

I have always love Lava Lamps. I had one on my desk at work until the day I retired. It was quite relaxing especially on a challenging day dealing with PhDs and their quirks. When I retired I gave it to one of my graduate student's children.

They definitely ARE relaxing & hypnotizing (sp)
DeleteOh yes, I sure did have one. It died. Even a replaced bulb wouldn't bring it back to life. I loved tht lamp. It was ocean blue. I would love to have another.
ReplyDeleteI've seen them in stores a lot here. Not any more expensive than they were in the 60s/70s
DeleteNever had one but yours looks interesting.
ReplyDelete...they ARE
DeleteI never had one, but I'm old enough to remember them!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are nostalgic...and from what I read about them, still popular.
DeleteA lot easier to take care of than an aquarium. I had one....maybe its time to do it again. Thanks for the memory! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL...a lot easier
DeleteOh yes I remember, had them then, have them today, and in case anyone needs one, Target has so many different kinds to bring home!
ReplyDeleteI have seen them around town...a lot of them.
DeleteMy Grandma had a Lava Lamp in her basement. I loved it so much. It was mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, they are!!!
Deleteoh my goodness!! love this I had one that was purple/pink I do not know how Santa found those color combos but got it in 1970 OR 71 it got broken :( our silly kitty was so mesmerized by it she thought it was a toy and bye bye lava lamp
ReplyDeleteOh boy, purple and pink 'lava'...I bet that was pretty as well as relaxing.
DeleteVery cool. I like the colors. I did have one but no longer do.
ReplyDeleteThey still sell them! They're great on stressful days.
DeleteI never had one, but I do remember them!
ReplyDeleteI bet your granddaughters would love one!
DeleteOur old lava lamp still works! I even have a small one that you can power with a tea light.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one for a tea light!
DeleteAnni, always thank you for stopping by! when we make it down to CORPUS I TRULY HOPE THAT WE CAN MEET!!! I have been following you since 2010 and feel like I already know you! have a super blessed day
