That 70's Stuff

My Enesco Dog Bank, circa 1970's it can be found in my artfire studio , http://www.artfire.com/users/HomelyHenrietta

This morning during my coffee and a browse I decided to search the 70's. The items from this era intrigue me. The colors, the fun styles, the uniqueness, the fringes, maybe I am a bit boho in a flourescent sort of way! I decide to share the love this morning with artfire as well as Etsy. My favorite of all these is the rooster brooch. I have a love for chickens alive or figural!

This awesome rooster and enamel earring lot is found in bonjourmadame 's artfire studio, they have so much very cool enamel jewelry from the 70's, if that's what you love the shop has great prices and a nice selection.I actually didn't find alot of 70'as stuff on Artfire, but they are a newer venue and over time there will be more I'm sure. On Etsy there was a big selection. Here is a couple of the items that I really liked.


This print is from justgivemepeace shop on Etsy. Her art is called singleton art. This shop has been a favorite of mine to browse since I started on Etsy.



















Lovin' this purse , my husband teases me because I love purses, change them often and have a stack of them to chose from. This one can be found for a very reasonable price at

Well, there was alot more that I found, but my coffee is getting cold, my stomache is growling for breakfast, and I need to work on one of my shops this morning. Have a great day !

Early Morning Browsing Handmade

Every morning I have my coffee at the computer I check for sales (do a happy dance when I have them) Then settle in to read the forums and browse the shops. There are some wonderful items and talented people on Etsy if you haven't found Etsy it's worth the click. This print I've fallen in love with , I love the colors ,the sentiment, and the fact that I always wanted a VW when I was high school. Click on the link to visit this artists' shop.
