and collecting continues

This could quickly become addictive :)

I bought a couple small vintage brooches off etsy; a bumblebee and a wasp, and then bought a retro-style rhinestone from ebay. (nothing pricey, those three together totalled under $20, but OH MAN I saw some beauties that would have broke the bank!)

Stephanie brought in a couple enamel flower brooches for me today as well!

and B & I are going over to Myrna's house this evening, as Deanna said I could look through her Mom's stuff before the estate sale.

btw, have also made some more progress (stitching on lace and beads) on my embellished parasol project this week.
