Thanks to some of my wonderful girlfriends, plus a fantastic trip to the Nashville flea market this morning, I’ve acquired some absolutely lovely pins/brooches/earrings for my vintage brooch bouquet! Aren’t they beautiful?! As I continue to collect pieces, I’ll keep a log of them on here so you can see them all too.

The cowboy boot and the silver flower next to it were given to me by my friend Sarah O. The gold frog and gold butterfly were contributed by a co-worker friend, Melissa B. The sparkly piece in the center was pulled from my own jewelry box…and I need to ask my mom about the origin of this brooch. I think it was a family member’s. I purchased the red rose ring and the top left blue flower pin & earring at the flea market this morning. My friend Ellen S. and I split the cost of the rest of the items from a fantastic flea market vendor who was SO kind! I told her why we were looking for all these pins and she actually threw one in for free! She said it was an early wedding gift. (The white daisy with the lady bug in the middle row to the right.)

I have word from several folks that I should be expecting some in the mail soon too. I feel like a little kid at Christmas! People have been so kind and giving. I can’t WAIT to see what all these look like together.

Have something you want to contribute too? I’d love it! Give me a holler at becomingmrsdial (at) gmail (dot) com. Have a great weekend!
