Today, I am posting brooches from a weeks ago or so. I like this set, they are a real mixed bag or quirk and simplicity
This jewelled tortoise came from acharity-shop of course! He's quite heavy but I like the fact he is quite true to colour BUT sparkly!
CBC bought me this large cherry brooch from Vivienne of Holloway around about 6 years ago after we first started going out. He went there to pick me up a gift voucher and then bought this as a treat! I like its over the top quality but you have to be careful how you hang it as last time it was somehow perched inapproriately! This time, I thought it went perfectly with this Topshop charity-shopped cropped jacket!
Cunningly worn in conjunction on a Thursday, this recorder brooch and drum brooch signalled that I had Recorder Club AND drumming club at school! The kids in both of those got it instantly! Ha! The recorder is a really old one I've had since I was 11,so it is well over 23 years old! The drum came from Hexham Vintage Emporium.
Here are my Ladybird like owl collar clips again but this time, I decided to wear them as cardigan-clips which worked much better as they looked less inebriated than last week's collar adventure!
Last, but not least, here is the Jammy Dodger Brooch I bought at the Steamunk Essexextraordinaire last week. It is VERY heavy!
Any favourites here? Bought any recently? Do share!

P.S.
In case, you missed it, I have entered Lady Vintage's Hall of Fame photo competition with my outfit and I would be SO grateful if you liked my outfit out of those who have entered enough to give it a like on Facebook. If your husband, boyfriend, cat, dog or significant other felt so inclined to take a look too, (like a few have!), I would be very grateful!
