Collecting: Brooches

I'm a fairly plain-jane dresser, and I'm thinking I need to add some fun brooches to my wardrobe to brighten things up. Here are come I'd love to collect:

Love the combination of free-hand stitching and the buttons.

Okay, so it's a hair clip, not a brooch -- but I wish it was!

Collecting: Mini Art Buttons Came in the Mail!

Collecting: Mini Art Buttons

I just love some of the work by the artists on Etsy -- But I really don't have the wall space to fit all of their work! I do collect some ACEOs, but these mini art buttons are also a great way to collect art by these artists. I want them all!First - some bird buttons. I love this vibrant, detailed art by BirdNerd.
