things i collect

maybe about 5 years ago i started collecting brooches and pins. i am always on the lookout for awesome ones wherever i go and try to justify the purchase in that they're not as expensive as buying clothes or shoes. i think i dress plainly most of the time so a nice brooch usually livens up the outfit. here are some of my favourites that i've made, bought or had given to me.

what do you collect?
