Brooch Bouquet - Handmade for this Beautiful Bride

In January, my daughter was engaged. She showed me a photo of a brooch bouquet and asked me to make her one to carry on her wedding day. Her sisters and I collected brooches for a few months, and realizing that we needed many more, we tucked a note into the Bridal Shower invite asking friends and family to help.
 
 
These brooches were lovingly and generously given to Liana for her special bouquet.
 
 
 
After weeks of wiring, twisting, glueing, forming and arranging, all the individual pins became one beautiful bouquet.
 

 
For this beautiful bride to carry down the aisle.
 

 
 
And to celebrate with her sisters.

Collecting - Turquoise Blue

I have a lot of turquoise or aqua colored accents around my house.
These blue glass items move were photographed in my dining room, but
they are currently re-grouped on my entrance console table.with a shallow blue glass bowl
for keys and stuff. They never fail to brighten up a dark area.
