Vintage Costume Jewelry

How lucky I was today to find this pin!


Laying right next to this one.



Inches away was this hair clip.


And this broach was right there too.


I was having a very good day.



I almost left this one behind, but only because it was turned over on it's back.





I had to get this one too.





I think I even heard this one scream as I passed by.





My plan is to collect enough of them to cover one of my recently acquired dressmaker forms.




My mini one where I keep my pins gave me that idea.


Any excuse to do a little harmless shopping now and then!

    Shopping is always fun - and the pins are wonderful. I especially like the corn.

    Hello to my first time commenters (Barry's mom) and Tamara - So glad you took the time to let me know you visited! Thanks for that.

    And to Barry's mom, I hope you're enjoying the new area where you live now. Any thoughts on starting a blog, like Barry did?

    And to Tamara, I'm glad you popped over to introduce yourself, you have some seriously talented cousins!

    Leeann - I thought of you as soon as I saw my Eiffel Tower pin.
    Jo - I had no idea that pin was an ear of corn...and that reminds me of your comment the other day about the santa cookie cutter...I would have never in a million years figured out either! Thank you!!
    Dear Lilie - My pictures don't even do that broach justice either!
    Mickey - I may have to commission another treasure from you, to add to my collection!
