Is green an unpopular color?

I'm a collector of vintage clothes for 20 years and trained fashion designer. My favourite color is green - especially moss green, forest green, olive and fern. My wardrobe is filled with 80% Vintage but I own only very few pieces in green. Although I'm on a constant search for Vintage pieces, I find it particularly difficult to find green.

My style is mainly 60s and 70s, bit bohemian, bit fairytale, bit whimsical. If it matches, I include younger Vintage or in rare cases new pieces. Of course every decade had its colours but I don't find a lot of green compared to most other colors when I'm searching on Vinted or Etsy, for example.

Most likely are washed out sage or lime greens, army green or bright turquoise leaning greens. Sometimes I think green isn't or hasn't been very popular. What do you think?

Books about travellers, like Vashti Bunyan's Wayward or Juliette de Baïracli Levy's Wanderers of the New Forest

I'm almost through with Wanderers of the New Forest, written by herbalist and free spirit Juliette de Baïracli Levy.

Two years ago I've read Wayward by singer Vashti Bunyan, which is one of my forever favorite books. Although both women were very different, both shared a glimpse of their lives "on the road" with few possessings, knowledge, and the urge to move on.
Both books gave me similar feelings and I wish so much to find more books like this.

I am searching for nonfictional biographic books written by women, who were travellers or kind of self sufficient. It's important to me that is about a past time period, preferably 1900-1970s.

Could be romany, free spirit, herbalist, farming, artists, etc background.

Doesn't have to be exactly about the travelling itself. Juliette writes about the people and surroundings, animals and plants. But she lived in so many different places, and she was so incredibly wise.

Looking forward to suggestions although I think it's going to be rather difficult.

The Fae Path

Three springtimes ago I finally found a lush forest with patches of sweet woodruff. I make syrup that tastes like herbal vanilla, it's naturally green and makes a lovely lemonade.

I wander this dreamy fae path with my little wicker basket for harvesting. It always feels a bit like walking into a magical world.
