I started collecting costume jewelry a little while ago because I enjoy the many different designs and the low cost; and I also get a kick out of researching the pieces. Most of the items I have are between 50 cents and about $10. Some, I must admit, are not worth even the money I spent, but they are just pretty little things like the pin in this picture. This pin is about 3 inches long. It is composed of two pieces, connected by a screw. The pin is unmarked but has a few numbers on the back.
I , like many other people here in Ontario, woke up to a pretty bad snowstorm, so I am wearing the pin on my sweater as a little reminder that spring will eventually come even if today it doesn't look like it.
Thanks for looking :(
