My collection of vintage brooches is growing, more like overflowing. As you can see, the bust that I purchased from Goodwill is getting full.
I love picking up the brooches when I travel.
They’re lovely and easy to fit in a suitcase.
This pink beauty is from Goodwill of San Diego, Pacific Beach.
This little mini is from Goodwill of Central Arizona, Phoenix.
I picked this one up in Peuwakee, Wisconsin.
Pretty in Pink.
Here is another pin from Wisconsin.
One more from Wisco.
Little mementos from my travels.
I created this display, with frames from Goodwill, exclusively for my pins.
I can now enjoy their beauty from the vanity in my bathroom.
Are you a brooch collector?
This DIY is super simple to create, and very inexpensive,
come on, show off your collection!

Do you ever wear them, or just collect them?

Hi Pam, Hope you’re doing well in MN! I wear these pins quite a bit, especially in the winter. I wear them solo or group similar pins and fasten them to the pocket on my denim jacket. I love them! Do you collect?
Kristin says
I too love vintage jewelry (especially broaches), and have amassed quite a collection thanks to thrift-store shopping. Mine have been hiding away in a jewelry box, so thank you for your creative display suggestions. Great ideas!
TheGoodwillGal says
You have to take those brooches out and display them! 🙂

Brooches are really making a comeback this year! There are so many cute ways to incorporate them into one’s wardrobe. I love the mannequin filled covered with brooches, so cute-great photo! I just wanted to bring to your attention the spelling of the word, so that others can find it too while searching. I’m not sure you could change the video, but at least the post itself.
TheGoodwillGal says
Jaleen, Thanks for pointing out the spelling! Omg, I can’t believe I did that, I’m glad you sent me the note, thanks!
TheGoodwillGal says
Hi Pam, Hope you’re doing well and staying warm. 🙂 I do wear my brooches, not one or two but have been know to cluster 3 or more onto one piece, I’m crazy like that! Of course, I can’t resist some unique ones and have to snag them for my display, there’s just something about them that I love! Take care, Lisa

TheGoodwillGal says
Yes, BFF’s! I’d love to see your collection sometime! 🙂
