My name is Cate and I'm a broochaholic
There I've said it, what started out many years ago when I was a little girl (hording all things shiny) has now turned into a bit of an obsession, well why have one when you can have more.
It seems an age since I blogged properly. Over the summer I have found a few more bits of treasure, nothing of value except that wonderful feeling you get when you find something in a box or tin of rubbish and you just know you have to rescue it. These little china pin sticks are one of my favourites, my daughter bought me the pink one from a charity shop, it's so nice having a daughter who loves the same things.
Thought you might like a nose around at my latest finds, I know I like to see what you all find
The crazy thing is I rarely wear them, I'm always worried I will lose one, some are very fragile with loose pins.
My original plan was to incorporate them into the brooches I make, but it's getting harder to part with any.
I'm not much of a Winter person and am already missing the lighter evenings with that in mind I took a few pics of the last of the summer toms
and unrelated greenhouse junk I'm glad to say I have since found the little boys spade. I bought this ornament years ago as it reminded me of my son as a toddler :)
Jutst a few Autumny pics before I go
I hope your all well and happy, hopefully I can get back on here now things have calmed down a bit at home, but of course then there is the latest distraction, Pinterest (it should be called Pinterpest ) although I do enjoy going on and have managed to collect a few boards, purely for research of course.
hope to see you all somewhere in cyberspace soon

My name is Julie and I am a broochaholic! I pulled myself together, gave me a good talking to and I am now selling some of my colection only keeping the ones that mean something to me i.e belong to my mum or my nanny.

Great post. Its great to hear that things are getting better?? Never heard of pinterest...just had a quick google...blimey its crazy. I think I will stay away from that one. Tam
My 7 year old niece is just the same with brooches, a real little magpie! She bought a brooch for every female member of our extended family that came to visit her during her stay here from Canada in the summer and usually with her pocket money, how sweet is that?!
Some gorgeous brooches there. I too am a broocholic - have to remember to check my clothes before I wash them as there's always something attached to them.

Lovely brooches. Like you I am often nervous about wearing the really special ones. Lizzie
Your collection is gorgeous. I would find it difficult to part with them also. Sherry :)
Hi Cate,
This is a lovely post. I am coveting your first photo of brooches. I am not that familiar with Pinterest yet, so when I get back to my usual blogging routine, I will certainly check it out :)
Re your question on measures for U.S.A. cups, tablespoons etc to English 1bs oz - I don't know anything top of my head, but I am hoping to do a blog page on it in the near future, but that may be a while. Sorry :(
