5 brooches #23 bunnies, bunnies everywhere

Hi there!

Thanks for your support on my last post. I'm not allowed to say anything about OFSTED and indeed, I don't know anything! But yes, I did get observed. Sigh... but it was ok!

So, you don't want to know about school, you're here for the bunnies right (I don't like bunny teasing. by the way for a certain person who might decide this is an opportunity for bunny jokes. No, it's not.)

The first brooch was a wonderful birthday present from Melanie. I was so happy when it arrived in the post 3 days before my birthday.  I waited, of course, until the day to open it.

And inside, was this beautiful Mockingjay brooch (if you've seen the Hunger Games, this is a reference.). I was especially touched by this because when I met Melanie last April, I had just finished The Hunger Games book 2 and was desperate to read Mockingjay but couldn't get it in the library or a charity shop quick enough. When I met Melanie, we had a look in the charity shops and I found the book I was seeking!!! She remembered!!! Thank you Melanie for your thoughtfulness!

No, no bunnies yet.

 Here we have, hot off the press, brooches worn for today's inspection! Yes, a HMI saw these brooches in action (she probably wasn't aware of them!).  I somehow failed to iron my blouse, so hid it under the turquoise tank (which also hid unironed blouse last time you saw it on 5 Brooches).  These Punkypins collar clips are a great favourite of mine except for their tendency to twist upside down!

 Lots of you liked this resin dog brooch last time I wore it (with Easter chick blouse), so this time, I upped the canine ante and wore it with my original 'Christmas jumper' from Per Una!

 Ok, so here's the first bunny, not seen since the inaugural 5 Brooches post.  I DIYed this one myself (well, attached a brooch back to mirrored bunny!).  Remarkably hard to photograph.

I wore him on one of my bunny sweaters- I couldn't get him in the photo so he got his own one!

And finally, brooch number 5 is a new addition to the brooch family.  My deputy head teacher had said she had a birthday present for me but it hadn't come yet and she turned up to school on Tuesday with a gift bag with this darling patterned bunny brooch, along  with another brooch by the same designer, Matin Lapin (which you'll no doubt see soon!).  I just had to wear him the next day and he needed some bunny companions for his debut.

So I pulled out another bunny sweater!

Any favourites? Have you worn any?
