Flickr Files: Mid-Century Ashtrays are Smokin’
Article or RSS item submitted by Ty Wenzel • Aug 31st, 2008 • Category: Flickr Files, Interiors Exteriors | 200 viewsI’m a smoker - I admit it. What I remember most about growing up were the cool ashtrays of the 60s that my father used to have. With so few people smoking nowadays, I thought it would be a good “green” idea to recycle these beautiful pieces into other things like catchalls or fruit bowls. Here are some that I found that could do just that!
Remember, as the great Bill Hicks once said, “Every day, non-smokers die. Every. Day. Non-Smokers. Die. Yes, it’s true.”
It is true, you know. However… coming from a guy who died young of cancer. Oh well…
The ashtrays are still awesome!
