Been another busy week. My mother had her birthday this week. We all went for a meal to a place in Worcester.
Then this morning our son gets up and said he was going to the Global gathering Festival. His friend was picking him up in about 15 minutes and could I find him a tent! Now my son is absolutely useless at organizing himself.
So within those minutes he eventually left with a 2 man tent for the 3 of them. Bag packed for a couple of days and a sleeping bag courtesy of mom. The whole family still haven't got over the shock that he passed his driving test last week first time.

Vintage star leaf brooch
Can you tell me where I might find a similar brooch to your swallows?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Char
The brooch has been sold, but I would say that you just keep having to search via Google for another one. As pre owned and vintage jewellery can be found for sale again.

Would you be able to confirm who made the Swallow Brooch? I found one just like it and Google lens search initially pointed me to Smith & Pepper.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the swallow brooch did not have any markings; and as I brought it in a tabletop sale, I have no way of tracking its source. Good question though. Can anyone else confirm?
