I do this too!! And aside from the sanitizing bag, I also got a UVC disinfecting lamp meant for a room.

I have some pretty ones. This thread is inspiring me to take them out and figure out a way to wear them with casual (VERY casual) outfits!I love pins. It is a great way to add a little personality to an outfit.
I agree, this is a great idea!How creative, to put them in a shadow box.
I think having something handmade is so much more special!!!Aww, thank-you @More bags!
My Mum sometimes said this to me, too, but never without reminding me I should work much neater... haha! Nowadays I sometimes feel her presence in the room when I´m working on something and she makes sure to remind me to work neatly.
Thank you Elaine.Your Chanel brooch is incredible. Amazing that you found it in a consignment shop.
I love that we're all pulling out our brooches… even if we don't have anywhere to go!!!
You have an eye for finding treasures!Thank you. I was so excited to find it in a consignment shop, years and year and YEARS ago!
Thank you, I'll look into this!OT, but a couple of months ago (and on the advice of my dentist's office manager, who is sanitizing EVERYTHING) I invested in a UV-C sanitizer. It sits just inside the front door. We just toss everything into it when we get home: glasses, wallets, phones, car keys…
In 10 minutes, everything is sanitized. And no need to wipe anything down.
Wow this is beautiful!For @essiedub … this is the Trifari brooch I was talking about. The crown was their emblem, though they also made other designs. This piece was, I believe, from the 1940s. I think the company stayed in business through the 1990s, but by then they had been acquired by another of the costume jewelry companies. And then eventually they went pfffft.

I love the lizard and the maple leaf (I’m Canadian!) I also like the one with the three coral beads and the frog makes me smile.Dug out most of the pins I still have. The lizard my dad gave my Mom when they were dating. The two angels came from my grandma.View attachment 4857775View attachment 4857776View attachment 4857775View attachment 4857776
Thank you! My mom got it for me in Canada. Then regretted not getting herself one. So I got her one the following year when I visited. I wear it sometimes in fall on a denim jacket.I love the lizard and the maple leaf (I’m Canadian!) I also like the one with the three coral beads and the frog makes me smile.

I stole this idea from DH. He uses old drawers from chests of drawers as display units and I happily picked this up and meanwhile use everything I can find. the brooches are in a dolls cutlery tray. Other custom jewellery lives in a full size cutlery tray. The otherHow creative, to put them in a shadow box.
