If truth be told, I would still wear them if I could find them and wouldn't be considered a kook. :D
Some of them were beautiful.
Anyway, what's happened to them?
I'd like to buy some to use in a few craft projects and, although ebay has some now and then, the prices are too much for me.
I guess they're considered collector items now maybe.
I remember them being pretty inexpensive (I'm speaking of the non-silk ones)
Does anyone know where I can buy some at a "normal" price?
I've googled a little and can only find silk ones.
Thanks.
you can pick them up fairly cheap at estate sales.
you will actually find some of the ones you grew up with.
