My Flower garden

How Does your garden grow?   I love these cheery bright enamelled pins dating from the 1960 to the 1970.   I have seen many of these pins used by artist who attempt to create their own jewellery and render these pins unusable.  I am all for the recycling of items that can no longer be used in their intended way but to actual take the jewels of the "Flower Child" and use them in any other way I find disturbing to me.   I will be showing more of my collections  

Overshoe Evolution

Since I started this blog it has been an adventure Hunt for me.  Each time I think of an item that I would like to share with you I discover that I have two or three more to show.   This has become a form of house sorting which is long overdue.  Here is some good examples of the boot or rain boot from the 1940 to the 1960.  The fur trimmed overshoe I wore in the 1950's but the sexy heeled boots was popular in the 1960's.  The rubber overshoes judging from the shape of the heel would be typical of the 1040.  The most interesting is the black rubber protector which left the heel of your shoe out and only covered the sides and sole.  I do remember my mother having a pair of the clear plastic fold up shoe covers in her bag along with the little package with a  fold up head cover.

Vintage Wicker and Straw bags and Purses

I promise myself that I will post more often so that i can share with you some of my favourite things.  this collection of straw and wicker purses and totes are  novel lovely and great examples of some hand made bags.  Most I suspect are souvenirs from many different tropical vacations.  These are starting to require a lot of space, so I am not applying myself to acquire more I just keep the ones that come my way.
