hoard or collect - brooches

I mentioned back here how I like to collect things (OK hoard things). But I consider this an OK thing to do, simply because my collections allow me to collect tins too! And I REALLY love tins, remember I showed some back here and here. I store lots of little collections in my collection of tins. Think I'm mad? D does.

Anyway I thought it would be fun to share a little collection of this or that every now and again. So first off my collection of brooches. I used to be really into them and wear one pretty much everyday, I haven't done that for a while, or even added to the collection. But I still love them all, some are inherited, some I've bought, some have been given. I've probably more than this, but some things I keep in different places for different reasons - or is that just being messy?

    Love that tin - I collect tins too so I totally understand that you need to collect lots of smaller things to keep in them! Great brooches too, particularly the turquoise and white daisy at the bottom of the pic. Have a great week! Rachel x

    What a lovely brooch collection and great tins too. No i dont think your mad, what better place to store little collctions than in a tin collection! I love tins of buttons. I just have to peek in tins at car boot sales to see if they are full of old buttons! Thanks for sharing. x

    Wow, a great collection! I like the flower brooches especially. I too have a small but growing collection of slightly battered old tins - how does anyone resist them?!

      I know I just can't understand how people can pass them by! Something about the print on metal is just so good.
