Brooch love

So as you may or may not know i love brooches and pins. I like how they can add extra character to an outfit. I have quite a collection so i decided to show you them. Now I've been collecting brooches for a while so i can tell you where i got things but they are probably no longer in stock.

As you can see a lot of my brooches come from primark or vintage fairs/shops. I love quirky brooches to add a little extra to my outfits. Its too hard for me to pick a favourite but i do love the rabbit with the pearl face. Do you have any favourites?
Do you like brooches to accessorise or do you prefer another type of jewellery?
XOXO

    Wow, great collection! I especially love the deer and the rabbit in the first pic, the cameos, and the moustache.

    I love brooches and pins. I don't own many right now, as I got rid of so many in a clear out. I used to have quite a few vintage ones from Camden but most of them started to fall apart xx

    I love your brooch collection! I am a brooch addict, too. :) I have a ton! I'm making the bouquet for my wedding out of vintage brooches, which has led my collection to multiple by an incredible amount because now I can justify it! haha xo amelia
