Somebody, somewhere commented on vintage brooches and I just can't remember any of the details... This was inspired by the comment you left, whoever you are! Brooches equal my favorite way to dress up boring black winter coats.

I love jelly belly jewelry! All of these are great picks. Have a good day tomorrow!
I love jelly belly too! Maybe I should do an all jelly belly post.... hmmm. Anyhow, tomorrow's the big hospital day! Wish us all luck: Joe, cause he's getting cut open, and me, because my grandma and mom will be there.
Oh dear! Good luck and best wishes to Joe! I will be hoping for the best.
I love the vintage look of these pieces!
I want to eat the Lucite pin. The colors are so pretty!
I love the yellow flower!!!
Such fun and whimsical jewelry choices. I like jewelry that you can almost make up a story about, as if the pieces become characters...woah, I sound ridiculous.
Heather, take that pin out of your mouth RIGHT NOW.
I agree with you about brooches as great embellishments, I just want to learn the art of "sprinkling" them onto my clothes...
