The huge appeal of these bright, enamel flower pins was partly due to the fact that they were definitely "not your mother's jewelry". The large colorful petals and stems were nothing but conservative and embodied the attitude of the times. Flower Power was in full swing and everyone wanted to "wear a flower in their hair" if only symbolically.
They are becoming more and more collectibile as time passes but you can still find adorable, affordable, funky pins to wear on your blouse, dress, jacket, purse, hat, or where ever you like. Let your imagination run wild and be transported back in time or just brighten up your day with a flower that will never wilt.
oooo i used to have a big white daisy, with a yellow center!
