Accidental Collection

I started picking up old flower brooches a while back.  One here, one there.  I thought I would sell them.  Whoops.  I love them.  Guess they are keepers.







My favorite is in the bottom photo - upper right corner with the matching earrings.  It belonged to my Step Father's Mother.  Isn't it gorgeous? 

Which one do YOU like the best?

  1. They're ALL gorgeous! This was funny to me - I have been collecting them, too! LOVE them. I don't know if I can pick a favorite in your collection!
    Maybe the black rose.

  2. Love them all. I don't collect these....well at least not yet...lol.
    They are all great but I think the black & white one reminds me a something I wore in the 60's!

  3. Hey Shara I like the "hippy-trippy-chippy" lime green & hot pink on the left! What I want to know...if you have 3 of something, is it really, truly a collection?? 3 of these have somehow, while I wasn't looking, sneaked into my "studio" and hung themselves up on my message board!! :o} Happy Mother's Day! *e*

  6. My favorite is the same as your favorite. Bring on the sparklies!! :)

    Those pins will fade in the sun, so beware where you store them. I had some in a sunny windowsill for a while and they all faded. :(

  9. I love these, too, and am always happy when I find one. (Well, when I find one for a quarter.) I'm partial to either of the pink ones.

  10. Love it! I collect these, too. I also thought I might sell them but I just can't. :) I feel it's a good thrifting day when I score one of these.
