Collecting Vintage Costume Pins And Brooches

Collecting Vintage Costume Pins And Brooches

I’ve been collecting vintage charms and creating bracelets, as well as selling them for a while now, and lately I’ve started to collect vintage costume jewelry lately. Pins and brooches in particular. I love the figural shaped pins and pins with colored stones the most I think.

Where Do You Buy Vintage Charms?

Where Do You Buy Vintage Charms?

I get this question from customers from time to time and the answer is “from various sources”. I live in central Florida and the antiquing prospects here aren’t as robust as in the midwest or northeast United States. It’s just not easy to find nice charms at the antique fairs in my area.

Celebrating Jeanette Cates 30 Day Blog Challenge Finale

Today is the last day of the blog challenge I participated in for the month of June. I’m proud to say that I kept up and was able to write a blog post each day. Even though the posts only had to be 150 words or more, it was still quite a task for me to come up with a topic each day and research enough to write a concise article.

Cincinnati Charm Convention – The Last Day

Cincinnati Charm Convention – The Last Day

Sunday was the final official day of the charm gathering. We got up early in the morning and several of us went to an antique / flea market in Indiana. The rest stayed at the hotel and did more charm sharing. I was one of the antique market folks. Sandy accompanied us on our fun field trip. I haven’t been able to find the quality of antique markets in Central Florida that there are in the Midwest so I was anxious to check it out.
