Calling all Mums!!

'A Mother will hold her child's
hand for a short while but their hearts forever
'

Just a little post to say a Happy Mothers Day for Sunday!

While looking for embellishments for other projects the other day I noticed that buried in this stash of diamante and glittery jewels there were a few of these vintage mother brooches. They really are pretty. Why can't they make things like this anymore?

Beautiful post and beautiful pictures Ginny! My what gorgeous brooches and I love how you have decorated Niki's fairy with them in the first pic! Happy Mothers day! Mothers day is in May here in Germany and we always have a little garden party only the women of our family on mothers day. Now I have to have another look at your gorgeous handmade items in your side bar. Are you selling them? Hugs and Smooches from rainy and stormy Bremen! Carol xox

Hope you had a great Mothering day! In Germany, we will honour our mothers at the beginning of may!

Hi Ginny,
I love the one on the top. Love the sentiment as well. I still rather find the really old treasure already owned by a loving mom if that’s possible?????

Luv Annabelle
