ANIMALS are your friends

Animals are your friends and it is now socially acceptable to have the perched upon your shoulder, or anywhere else you would like, all day long. These adorable little animal brooches from Kate Broughton are quite stunning. I love the assortment of creatures she is offering up to sustain all the forest day dreams, or jungle adventures running through your head. I don’t think I could pick just one, and I would probably be the crazy lady with all those animals all over her sweater.

FABULOUS flowers

The flowers in Marilu’s Etsy shop are quite simple and very unique. Her zipper flowers are a beautiful take on the traditional Kanzashi flowers of Japan. I seem to be on a roll with finding unique brooches this week, but rest assured she offers more than just a pretty pin. Her simple elegant felt flower necklaces would be perfect on anyone, and at only $12 would make a great secret santa gift.

DRESS UP your coat.

This week was the first time I was forced to wear my winter coat. I’ve been thinking of getting new buttons for it to jazz it up a little. It’s the same coat everyone else has, Black pea coat, black buttons, cute but boring. Today I came across these unique brooches by Sarah from CraftyFolk. Hailing from the Great state of Oregon these brooches are one of a kind, hand-painted little pieces of art! I love her whimsical style and a sense of the forest meets fashion. These little guys would be sure to snazz up any coat!
