Friday Show and Tell – Mother’s Brooches

Show and Tell Friday is hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home

Today I wanted to share some costume jewelry my mother gave me last month. As we were sorting her clothing for items to donate to charity, we took off the jewelry from the dresses and suits. I can remember her dressing up for church or some other occasion – she always wore lovely clothing accessorized with hat, pocketbook and gloves. A brooch was also an important embellishment. I also wear brooches and so am glad to add several of hers to my own collection.

I’ve had quite a time photographing the brooches, so must apologize for the poor photos.

On my bureau, I have a mirrored jewelry box which was also given to me by my mother last year. She had received it as a gift. It has a drawer at the front in which jewelry is stored. Pictured below is the box with the brooches she has given me.

My two favorites are the bow pin and the floral spray pin.

Next is a circular coil pin and another with a red stone.

This circular pin has a dark stone and has rhinestones around the edge.

On the bedroom wall over the bed is a framed memorabilia arrangement which includes another favorite pin, which my mother gave me many years ago.

When I have a little more time, I need to do a better job photographing these items.
Thank you for stopping by and do come again. I would love to read a comment from you.
