5 brooches #59

Hello there,
I hope you are well. I thought I would share a few brooch photos from April. I have got out of the habit of posting these weekly so I will try to resume this!

 From an unexpectedly hot first week of April, I added this pair of Cactus pins to this Swan dress.
 My flute quartet had another gig at John Lewis so I added my oversized sparkly heart to my black dress as we accessorise with red and this was all I could find!
 A very favourite fox-themed outfit from the same hot week- I added Mr Foxton to my Punkypins necklace and fox-dress (plus the Fox shoeees!) for Foxy overkill!
 Penultimately, here is the white cat brooch I made for my Colin Baker cosplay which I posted as part of my Style imitating Monmon cats post.
Finally, this unicorn pin combined with lemon slice was the completion of this ric-rac dress outfit!

Any favourites here?

xx

    The cactus pins and the swan dress - too cute Kezzie! It's been gorgeously hot here too, I've been loving the warm weather. I adore your foxy outfit too, there can never be too many foxes! - Tasha

    Really cool brooches, Kezzie. If you don't mind me saying so, I really like the cat brooch that you made. It just seems very calming somehow. I love the cat's expression. :)

    I think this is my favorite brooch post yet! You have some great combinations of patterns, colors and themes going on here. The foxes are grea... I love the potted cactus with the flowered dress, and the stripes and colors of the unicorn and zig-zags -- all brilliant!

      Thank you Jan!! Our trademark is red shoes with our black dresses and then we accessorize with red!

    Your brooches are gorgeous - but I'm intrigued by the flute quartet - any pics? Have you a base flute in the group as well? Isn't it about time Miss Kezzie to post some of your music? :)

      And I wanted to ask, how do you protect your dresses from pin holes from your brooches? Or does that not matter? I hate wrecking jackets with pins but I love brooches ... dilemma lol

      I have asked this before but I don't think I got a reply? I hate pinholes in my clothes, which is why I only have two brooches that live on the same two jackets all the time.

      Buy yourself a Magnapin. I bought mine from Kittykatuk. You post the brooch ARM through the hole and then position the magnet behind the material in the position you want and then they should join and the brooch stays. Google Magnapin. To be honest though, I am sometimes lazy and just make the holes- I tend to find wool jumpers and looser weave cotton doesn't really leave a mark! Pin badges, I have no solutions for!!!

      Oh and apparently they suggest you use two Magnapins for a heavy brooch. I bought two but have yet to try this!!

      Jan, I don't think I have any official photos as the group is quitephoto shy. We do have a few photos that John Lewis took the first ttime we played for them somewhere!!!

    There is no such thing as too many foxes. Although when you said Mr Foxton all I could think off was the chap from The Jam!
    You have the ricrac dress from CK, love that. And I don't recall seeing the swan dress before?

    Well, the cat collar, definitely, and I love the lemon slice necklace. And all things foxes. It all looks great. You are such a bold dresser. I LOVE to look at other people who will wear fun things, but I'm generally a solid-color, yoga pants kind of gal, sadly.
