Then this week, she posts this super adorable circle skirt with the CUTEST enamel flower pin.
No worries. Just lookie what came in my mailbox today!
I've been stalking etsy & ebay for weeks trying to build up a small collection of retro pins like Miss Pillsbury wears. And while both vendors abound with the Mod (read: loud) daisies in a variety of psychedelic colors, I've tried to concentrate on the still kitschy but more glamorous varieties.
Unfortunately that means I lose at auction. Alot. (Because I'm fashionable, but cheap.)
But this one...this one is the perfect shade of my very favorite aqua blue, and has a dazzling black rhinestone center for just the right touch of bling.
Swoon. I'm pretty sure Emma would agree.
Gorgeous!! When my in-laws were in town, we took them to the flea market...and I found myself drifting back over and over to a seller with a whole case full of enameled pins. I think I need to go back (but with money!!).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pins. Showing my age, my brother and I gave these types of pins to my mom for Mother's Day and birthdays. She still has many of them.

Now, you're really chasing me! :)
OMG! It is gorgeous. ;-) Heart it big time!
ReplyDeleteGotta say....Love all this retro...I wore this stuff the FIRST time around. I could let it make me feel old, but actually, it reminds me of times when I liked fashion best... It was fun to be in your twenties in the 60's and 70's.
Beautiful :)))
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous pin! But I'm so glad that I was on eBay last spring/summer and fall looking for these pieces because there is going to be a run on these pins now!
