Hello there!
I hope your Saturday was blessed with being a halcyon day of sunshine like mine was...despite the headache, I enjoyed a pleasant walk in the woods with CBC and our friend, then dinner in a pub and a silly film night.
Back home now, trying to catch up on broochage over the past month!
This pair of brooches was really awkward to photograph ON so I took the jumper off to photograph! This owl is my favourite of all my Erstwilder brooches- he has such a benevolent facial expression. The heart is part of a pair of collar clips from Punkypins...
This set of brooches and earrings used as collar clips was from a while back... The earrings are charity-shopped and the owl and Niffler pins from Rosebud Casson and Hannah Hitchman respectively..
The Perfect pin badge came from Primark as part of a set of £6 pins reduced to £1 for the lot. I ended up with two sets so i wore them as collar clips.
Bit of a Doctor Who, Clara Oswald cosplay here as these are the genuine screen accurate collar clips she wears in 'The Caretaker'. I've liked them for a long time but not bought them. It was only when Lady Bird Likes' Zoe Bateman announced she was closing her brand and selling off what was left that I saw it was my last chance to get them! And at only £6.00 in the closing down sale, rather than the previous £16.00, it seemed a good opportunity. I have still not added a button hole to this shirt so I used a planet pin to make this blouse high-necked.
And that's your lot. I am aware there are not 5 brooches here, nor are there 5 photos. Aw, well, this little series has its name, we'll stick with it, even if it doesn't do what's on the tin!
Any favourites here?

Your blog is a great way to have a record of all your brooches. My favorite is that intelligent owl of course.

Oh those last collar clips are definitely my favourites! I love the clothes that Clara wore in the show so these are awesome Kezzie. I love the first brooch too, so cute. Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing Saturday! - Tasha
ReplyDeleteYour brooch collection is amazing! Lots of fun and cute brooches. Is there a total count of your collection? Curious. Karen
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen. I am genuinely not sure!!! I should probably get them out and count at some point! Maybe I'll do a themed set of brooch photos at some point, e.g. All red ones...
DeleteDefinitely the owl for me. X
ReplyDeleteI love all your brooches, but the owl is my favourite. He's a hoot! ;) x
ReplyDeleteThe owl&books brooch looks so pretty. I like all of them, as usual. :)
ReplyDeleteThe owl on the books is my favourite. I adore him!
ReplyDeleteLike Karen I'm wondering have you ever totalled up your collection - it must be vast ... I love the planet one and your collar clips - so cool.
ReplyDeleteReally not sure Fil, though I suspect they are in 3 figures!
DeleteLoving that wise old owl ...and the sound of lunch in the pub! xxx
ReplyDeletebeautiful, beautiful brooches...I love the ones shaped as planets. Recently I watched some documentary about SF classics and their influence on science....and they mentioned Dr. Who! I thought of you.:)
ReplyDeleteThat bookish owl is my absolute favourite, but I'm loving the idea of using earrings as collar clips too. I might steal that idea from you ;-) xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the perfect brooch, some real bargains here. I have my school prefect badge around somewhere, maybe I should try and dig it out for a wearing.
