Now I am rocking brooches like nobody's business! :) I have a mix of vintage and modern pieces that I love. I tend to favor large pieces, as I am not petite myself.

I really like the little groupings you create with yours. It makes each of your outfits unique unto you. <br /><br />That jacket is fabulous and fits you perfectly. <br /><br />The location looks like it was taken out of a fairy tale. What a place for a picnic! The whole visit looks like it came out of Victoria Magazine. A long since dead publication that I used to love. <br /><br />The hat looks like it is in pristine condition. The elastic is an easy fix. <br /><br />Every time I read your posts I want to come for a visit. It looks so picturesque. <br /><br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.com
