Another obsession of ours are Vintage Christmas Corsages and pins.
My mother always wore holiday related pins and loved stick pins on her lapels. She always bought us a holiday pin growing up. Sue and I just found our old jewelry box and yes with the ballerina. It included our holiday pins-heart, shamrocks, dog pins and Christmas pins. Sue will be making some rings and corsages using them. Some are too cute to use.
We also found ones that we must of bought along the way.
