Joplin, MO (1888PressRelease)
September 27, 2007 - Remember the "Hippies", the "Flower Children", the "Peace" symbol, painted hippie-vans, words like: love, peace, far-out, dig-it, freak and psychedelic? When top of the chart songs were "These Eyes", Suspicious Minds", "Aquarius", "Sugar Sugar", "Sweet Caroline", "Hair", "Crimson and Clover" and "Bad Moon Rising" to name a few. And of course, Woodstock, the outdoor concert held in New York on August 15, 16 and 17, 1969 where over 500,000 people showed up to hear groups like: Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joan Baez, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and the list goes on.
Yes, I'm talking about the hippie era....some of you may have lived it, some only heard about it or read about it. It was a time when the younger generation started to reclaim their lives. They wanted to be themselves. They campained for world peace, protesting the draft and Vietnam War. They voiced their opposition with the words "Make Love Not War". They burnt their draft cards while shouting "Hell no, we won't go". They experimented with soft drugs and promoted "free love".
Originating in San Francisco, California, their clothing consisted of big, loose, brightly colored clothes thus making them comfortable, headbands to keep the long hair out of their faces, round sunglasses, fringes, sandals, real flowers, hemp jewelry, mood beads and of course the love beads.
Moon Goddess Jewelry brings a piece of this era back in style with our line of Hemp Jewelry, Mood Bead Jewelry and our Love Beads. Our hemp line includes hemp necklaces, hemp chokers, hemp bracelets and hemp key rings creatively weaved with items such as glass beads, shells and carved bone beads. Our Mood Bead bracelets are created with the amazing color changing "mood beads" enhanced with sterling silver beads and findings and bands of black rubber or black leather. Our "Love Beads" come 3 strands of different length beads per package.
The hippie era was short lived, but you can keep a part of it alive with love beads, mood bead jewelry and hemp jewelry by Moon Goddess Jewelry, handmade beaded jewelry designs.
