I have more beautiful brooches to share with you! Last week I attended a networking event with one of my lovely bridesmaids. Little did I know that a dear friend, Jessica, would also be there…and she would have these two beautiful gifts for me! She lovingly picked out these two brooches at an antique store and gave them to me that evening. The design on the left pin shows a man playing a guitar (or some type of stringed instrument) to a women with blonde hair. Fitting. The pin on the right is made of beautiful aurora borealis rhinestones. It’s so glittery, sparkly and perfect.

This little jewel of a brooch below was given to me by my delightfully curly-haired compadre, Sarah S.  She ordered it from an Etsy shop. I LOVE the opal in the center of this piece and the blue stones really set it off. Such a unique piece of art! (Kudos to you for braving Etsy! I get on there and get overwhelmed with all the beautiful things!)

Thank you Jessica and Sarah! You are both rays of sunshine and I’m so blessed to know you.

And folks, there’s more coming soon! I received a package last night from one of my bridesmaids. She says there’s another package in the mail! Wow! I’m so amazed by the outpouring of love from you all.

Stay tuned for more!

Sheesh! Where has February gone?! We’re at 4 months and counting..yikes!

Two weekends ago I represented Rodan+Fields at the Southern Women’s Show in Savannah, GA. When I returned from that trip, I had all kinds of brooches and lovelies for my vintage jewelry bouquet! The first two photos are packages I received while was out of town. The beautiful pieces in the first photo are from Dawn, one of Philip’s twin sisters. I love the colors! Especially the black pin with the purple stones. Very unique!

This second photo showcases some stunning pieces from my cousin Leah who lives in Central Illinois. The necklace and dragonfly were her mother’s. The small gold brooch with pearls and the pink/white flowered circle pin was her grandmother’s and the blue set was her mother-in-law’s. The other three pieces belonged to Leah. Absolutely gorgeous! And so special that these pieces have so much love and history behind them.

The week before I left for Savannah, I received the following pieces from my co-worker Ambrosha. I especially love that blue flower. The smaller pieces are going to look so neat attached to the larger ones. I can’t wait to see how Amanda weaves all of these together!

I’m so blessed to be surrounded by such loving and caring people…even though some are many miles away! Thank you Dawn, Leah and Ambrosha for contributing these fantabulous pieces of jewelry for my vintage jewelry bouquet. I wouldn’t be able to do this without incredible people like you.

I have EVEN MORE brooches to share with you. I’ve received 4 more in the past week! Stay tuned!
