Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Dragonflower says,

My son in law says, You really like wicker, don't you? as he gazes around my apt. My daughter sighs. That's my mom, she says.

Steve__Anthony says,

Never figured out "the meaning" of wicker, Autumn22. Maybe you can clue me in.

Dragonflower says,

So funny. Wicker just grabs you and doesn't let go. Especially if you were a child of the late sixties, early seventies. My first piece of furniture was a Bentwood rocker which has a cane seat. I still have it. 42 years. Now cane isn't wicker, I know. But it set something in motion for me. Wicker came later, in the 80s for me. To me it means warmth, natural looking furniture, sort of a hippie chic, as a call back to those earlier times.

Plus, you can move it easily. "Who needs men?" was my mantra for a while when I became (an unenlightened) feminist. Turns out, men can be pretty handy. I don't say that mantra any more.

I did wicker in the 80's. Now I have come to love bamboo of the 60's.
