Why not wear it?????
because i dont normally wear pins, i liked the swirling of pearls and they art deco look. i dont go anywhere much to dress up anyhow. i live in a small town, am a housewife, and the most i go to is the grocery store or the library
I love your brooch. I have a large collection of signed and unsigned vintage brooches.
Very nice. I love Trifari and have several pieces too. They can be highly collectible. Try selling it maybe: or just add to you collection for the grandkids..blingiton1948
thank you, they are nice jewelry
You have lovely taste, I think you should show it off! Even if the only person that sees it is the checkout girl at the grocery store. I am also a small town housewife & mother of 2 & like yourself rarely have a reason to dress up. I do it because it makes me feel good. I think a classic brooch such as yours would be lovely on a coat & not to dressy. Style & Taste is appropriate for every occasion & location:) Hope to see more of your treasures.
Put your pins on your jean jacket - that's what I do when I visit my Mom in Iowa. So lovely!
thank you! i buy my things just to look at even though they can be used. i love beautiful things and collect it just because i love the beauty of how it looks. i dont collect because of it being antique, vintage or whatever, i just love beauty and beautiful things. the only thing i use that i have is driving my pink 59 studebaker lark classic car. that i love showing off!
