Today's photo mosaic was created with some of my costume jewelry Christmas tree pins. Most of these pins are probably the 1950's or 1960's, although a couple are much newer.
The one above is probably my current favorite. It is unsigned.
This one is a contemporary pin from the last decade or so. I think my Dad gave each of my sisters and my mom this same tree pin.

Lovely pins - I have a few Christmas trees too dated about then.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Some of those look like pins I remember my mother and grandmother having...even some my mother in law still pulls out. You've got a great collection.
