Hello all!
I hope you are well. I am fine apart from some weird throat and tonsil stuff which has been going on for a while but it's not catastrophic.
Onto the next batch of brooches then?
Brooch number 1, an enamel lapel pin is several years old now and of course, has been worn over the last couple of weeks. Worn here on Remembrance Sunday- a way of saying, "We will remember them,". I always find a Royal Legion collector to give my contribution to but I don't take a poppy as I have this one.
The second brooch (remember I am fairly ambiguous in my interpretation of brooch. One could say I interpret it as -
is attached with some sort of spiky pin to material) is this chiffon pale blue flower. Can't remember where it came from but it matched the hat (not visible) that I was wearing (Ang has the same one!)
The third brooch has been seen in this series but not worn. I wore it as part of a 'British' outfit for 'International costume day' for school because what is more English than tea. I made this one myself, worn with my Orla Kiely (charity-shopped) dress, a royal blue cardie and er- white beret. Yes, the dress is creased-ho hum!
Brooch 4 was bought in Northumberland and is supposed to be Jupiter (wish the colours were brighter). It looks frankly rubbish in this lighting. I was attempting a space theme with the cardie...
Lastly, the Ladybird Likes owl collar clips received their debut, not too elegantly as the right one looked like it had keeled over- the trouble with the second collar clip is I cannot attach it until the clothes are on (I did the first one without being inside the shirt)- there's no way of doing the second one without trying to garotte yourself as you try to get inside the shirt neck! Any suggestions?
Have you been up to any brooch action recently? Do share if so!

The owls are my fav, but all of your brooches are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKezzie, I miss you!! I love your brooch activity, and I must admit that I've been up to none!! But I am smiling at yours. Gwendolyn and I heart you! xo
ReplyDeleteYou wear all your brooches with great finesse. I have some brooches given to me but unfortunately most are staying in my second hand jewellery box. I leave the same ones on my lapels for ever it seems.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I have some of those flower "brooches", except I use mine in my hair! (They have both a hairclip bit and a safety pin).
ReplyDeleteWow, those owls are amazing, no advice about the garotting though, I have to rescue myself multiple times each week. I am rather fond of your Jupiter brooch too. I am planning a brooch post myself, I just have to get myself together.
ReplyDeleteI love your OK dress, what a great find.
ReplyDeleteThe owls are fab, even when wonky!

The Jupiter brooch looks fab and the poppy is very nice too. You have a lovely collection of brooches x
ReplyDeleteLoving the wonky owls - a great name for a band if ever there was. Hope the throat feels better. xxx
ReplyDeletejust stopping by to say hello:)!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! Love Jupiter as a brooch and the owls - perhaps the tipped-up one is tipsy! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe tipsy owl just wanted a different view of the world! Don't garotte yourself to put him upright!
ReplyDeleteThe teacup and saucer brooch is so sweet. Tickles me as a tea drinker!
Ah yeah, I didn't think about that with collar clips. I've spent ages attaching, removing and reattaching brooches to hats in order for them to be in the perfect position, it's annoying. Anyway, the owls are brilliant and the teacup is great.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting to take outfit photos lately, been so struck down with this cold that I haven't really been feeling like taking photos. And I do keep forgetting to take any detail shots of my accessories either.
ReplyDeleteI like the Jupiter brooch. I have a similar poppy brooch, I popped some money in a collection pot and really confused the lady selling them by not taking a paper poppy. I don't know why she didn't understand my reason for not doing so, she was most befuddled!
