Vintage Brooch Swap

I participated in the Swap for all Seasons Vintage Brooch Swap for Mother's Day.  Look at what I got from the very talented Jan in Texas!  Here is her lovely hand-made card to me, along with my beautifully wrapped parcel.  That is a SECOND vintage brooch on the ribbon!
This is what was inside that pretty package.  The photo does not do justice to the beautiful cross-stitch and beding on the needleroll that Jan made for me.  The brooch is mother-of-pearl with my initial on it in gold.  Beautiful!
I was just blown away by Jan's beautiful gift to me!

  1. Hi Mary Lea,

    The items your partner sent are AMAZING! I just wish I could take a closer look to see more detail. She is very talented! Is the roll designed to hold pins? I haven't heard that term before.


    Thank you for sharing. It's such a delight seeing all the beautiful brooches and creativity this morning. Have fun too!

    Be blessed with your favorite kind of day.

  2. Sorry about the photos...don't have a grat camera! I think they were designed to hold brooches...the cross stiching is so amazing! Jan called it a needle-roll and told me you can find them...if a dealer will part with it!
