5 brooches #53

Evenin' all! 
I hope all is shiny and bright and bushy-tailed in your home!

As I write, I am at my first orchestra rehearsal since November!  We are playing Hadyn's Surprise symphony which I am rather gleeful to play as I've never played the proper version, only a primary school version.  It's the one with a big surprise at the end of a phrase...




I adore playing music from the Classical era (1780-1820) as it has such sumptuous melodies and such a light buoyant feel!  Think Mozart and Hadyn!

Play it as you are reading! It will brighten any mood!

Anyway...onto the broochage.


Here's yesterday's book dress but with a different top and brooch.  Drink tea and read books. Yes please!
Double broochage here for the eagle-eyed.  A balloon and a tiny cactus on my favourite tank top.
My trusty old DIY Scrabble brooches giving a little inspiration!
Finally,a pair of pins for my lapels...both presents. The violin was a Christmas present from my penpal Lucy and the heart-shaped one from my Deputy Head teacher!  She buys great presents!!!

    I think I had a tank top like that, was it a Primark one? Mine was in black, so good for extra layers.

    Thanks for the music Kezzie. Your brooches are telling a lot about you.
    It sure makes you look shiny and bright and bushy-tailed.
    Have a great rest of the day.
    Hugs, Julia

    That's so nice that you rehearsed for a concert, loved that! And yes, it gave me a smile, I love music and concerts! I also loved your brooches - Read books and drink tea - and the print of the dress, wow! The Scrabble pins were great and the balloon as well... all your brooches are really amazing! I hope you have a very beautiful day, dear Kezzie!

    Thanks for that "surprising" piece of music, Kezzie. I did as advised and listened to it while I was reading. Lovely to see a close-up of our book dress. And brooch. I want one that says Drink COFFEE and read books, though ... xxx

    LOVE this post, Kezzie! I'm a HUGE classical music listener. Vivaldi and Beethoven are my personal favorite composers (Baroque and Classical/Romantic eras respectively) but I really like Haydn and Mozart too! Haydn was a big influence on Mozart as well as a mentor to him and even taught Beethoven!
    Great composer all the way!
