I have joined the Mother's Day Vintage Brooch Swap at A Swap for All Seasons. For more info click the link on the left. Linda recently posted a picture of her vintage jewelry box filled with vintage brooches and pins. I liked the idea and collected some of my vintage brooches and pins and have displayed this in one of my vintage jewelry boxes. This is a photo of the filled jewelry box. She asked us to share one of our favorite brooches. Here is one of mine.
This lovely gold-tone brooch belonged to my Mama (grandma on my dad's side). She loved jewelry and never left the house without at least one piece of jewelry. When she passed away, I was able to get a few things from her jewelry box for my sister's and I. This is the brooch that I selected. Throughout this swap, I will share some of the brooches from my collection. Some belonged to me, some to my mom, and others I purchased at thrift stores and garage sales. My partner for this swap is Sarah in Oregon.

WOW those are lovely. I didn't get in on this swap this time around.
My Mammaw had a jewelry box like that filled with broaches and clip earrings. The girl cousins and I always loved to go into her bedroom and try everything on. I'm not sure where it ended up after she passed away.
Love the quilt in your previous post. Such a wonderful way to remember someone who is gone. A good friend here had the same thing done with some of her grandmother's clothes -- someone made memory wall quilts for all the family members. Really special!
Hope you have a great weekend. :) Tammy
