Sparkling Brooch Love!

 
Today I keep thinking all about brooches!!! Preferably sparkly ones! I've been looking through tons of shops on Etsy today and just can't seem to get enough! So many Etsy shops have great ideas for Valentine's Day and Weddings (it seems both seasons are right around the corner already!).  That's what I think of when I look at my brooch collection.  I even looked at my own favorites in my jewelry box this afternoon.  After gazing at them for a bit I decided to display them in a frame I had used to hang earrings on in the past!  Here's a little peek for you!


My Collection of Vintage Brooches I Just Can't Part With!

 
My Favorite Piece of Jewelry (I know it's not a brooch, but I couldn't resist!), my Grandmother's Porcelain Forget-Me-Not Earring. 
I only have one...and I think my sister has the other!
 
 
Here's what the little display looks like that I put together today.  Simple.  And it gets a lot of natural sunlight so they glisten all day!
 
 
 

In addition to my collection, we also have some lovely pieces in our shop!  And the good news, they're on SALE! Both of  the brooch/earring sets below sparkle like no one's business! ❤ The earrings are clip-on's, which instantly take me back to playing dress up as a child! 
 
 
 
 
The gray/silver set is by CATHE, a company that started in 1961 in Torrence, CA. And the beautiful emerald green set dates to the late 1950's, but is unmarked.  They are all stunning jewels fit for a princess!
 
Stop on by VBVintage to see what's new...Maybe you'll even find a Valentine's Day gift for your love....or for yourself!
 
Thanks so much for reading.  And don't forget...we love to hear your comments! 
Have a beautiful day...
