Novelty Brooch Friday

I started wearing vintage brooches since I was 12 or 13, although I felt like no one ever appreciated them as much as I did. I eventually became more of a collector and stopped wearing them as much when I reached high school. I started wearing them again a few years ago, but still felt like they were super unappreciated or unnoticed until recently.

 I was pleasantly surprised to see on instagram that Claire from tunabake times and Erin from The Fawn Times created #noveltybroochfriday. I was really excited to see that there are lots of ladies who like wearing and collecting brooches too. I think my favorite thing about it is the diversity of the brooches, you see so many pretty and unique brooches! It's amazing!

Also by participation, you're entered to win a new brooch each month! I was honored to be chosen as June's brooch winner. I got this awesome fawn brooch from Each To Own (She also has lots of pretty jewelry).
