Back in the 60s and 70s there were a lot of things sold by the

Well, that's a new one!  Did she bring a kit home and if so,
how did the finished painting look?

No! She tactfully turned down the invitation.

 I've always declined those tupperware and other types of 'parties'.
It's just a sales pitch and you are obligated to buy stuff that's way
overpriced.

No one is *obligated* but one does feel pressured.  I worked with a woman who sold Pampered Chef products on the side.  She was always approaching people at the office with the catalog.  Pampered Chef products were way overpriced.
Back in those days parents were always bringing in order lists for things their children were supposed to sell to raise money for something for their school.  Wrapping paper, cookies, candy, etc.  The company I worked for at the time finally decreed they were not allowed to do that.
