Wooden Bucket Bag with Artificial Foliage. 1970s. Maker: Unknown. This ‘70s-era (judging by the quilted floral print lining) purse is made out of a slatted wooden basket with hinged lid. It’s likely homemade. It has a wooden handle and is decorated on top with cloth and plastic flowers, leaves and butterfly. The lime and pink paint reminds me of my childhood. A lot of little girls’ bedrooms were painted in similar tones. In fact, these colors are back in style—only now they call them “celery” and “blush!”
