Brooch

This brooch belonged to my late mother. I remember it from when I was around seven years of age and always liked it. From time to time she would let me wear it, and only ever wanted me to try not to lose it. My favourite was to wear it pinned to my silk scarf with the blue and gold French poodle motif. I even wore this brooch and scarf ensemble to school where the uniform policy was flexible up to the second grade.

The jewels are glass and the metal is something which by now is tarnished, so the brooch is a fully manufactured thing. I've never lost my taste for glass jewellery and over the years I've built a collection of brooches found in antique stores and op shops.

Thanks for hosting H0tamer. Stay well all.
