    Inspired by racer4four's brooch collection post, here is my more modest selection.
    The first photo shows various glass brooches, most of them Czech & dating from the 1920s - 1930s era. Also included are two dress clips (the black one with a silver bird, & the red cherry - like one that is just to the lower left). There are two examples of Venetian glass as well, both appearing to be make-do efforts that reuse a pair of earrings (the bar brooch) & the other, a millefiori bead.
    My favourites in this group are the mauve triangle, & the red gloved hand.
    Second photo shows a selection of plastic & metal brooches dating from the early to late 20th century.
    Two early plastic fish, a Bakelite butterfly (was a dress clip but I converted it), Bakelite butterfly with attached leaf & bells, large red letter M (70s or 80s I think), red Bakelite dress clip with letter M (another conversion to a brooch), Bakelite sailboat, wooden log with attached mushrooms, 2 x silver brooches with enamelled bluebirds, butterfly wing with tropical scene, kitsch plastic painter at easel (has to be 50s), rhinestone fan, green Bakelite dress clip (converted to a brooch), plastic pencils (most likely 80s), Lea Stein plastic bar brooch, pink palm tree & red cherries (80s), wrapped sweet (maybe 50s?).
    The majority of these were op shop & flea market finds long ago.

      Bluebird brooches! Love them, always have.
      Such a great selection, and the glass ones are great!
      My favourite plastic one is the log and mushrooms; weird and good :)

      Thanks so much! Yes, I'm a big fan of blue birds...& have some other blue bird/swallow motif items as well. The mushroom brooch is cool, isn't it? I think it's probably Central European in origin.

      Indeed I am an M...but not a Mary :-)
      I don't wear them, just enjoy them on display.
      Glad you're enjoying my brooches - & yours are neat too! Letter M's & bluebirds are a great mix!
