Vintage Brooch. Same garage sale as the Powder Compact.
Brooches also known as fibulae (the truly ancient) are one of the oldest forms of jewellery. I suppose they have been replaced by the ever so practical, less likely to poke your skin, button.
Status: Surely there is an outfit in the back of my closet that merits sporting this baby. Or an event.

There Was An Untitled Lady From Looch
Who Liked Her Wee Nip of Hootch
She Met Mr. Titled from Rome
Who Promised to Show Her a Gnome
They Had A Big Smooch
And Off Came Her Brooch

Definitely a keeper. Call me a magpie but I do love things that glitter. The softer the sparkle, the better. Also, did you write that poem? If so, I see a fantastic wall mounted piece of text art. 🙂 enjoying these.
I know – glitter is delightful:) Yes I wrote the limerick (of course it only works if you pronounce brooch like eewwch, which I do!:) Could make it an embroidery… Glad you like it Peter. Cheers
Yes! The limerick escaped (and very fine it is too).
Thanks:)
