Autumn Brooch

Description

Lately I've been seeing many things made out of vintage neckties, dresses, skirts, headbands, bracelets and brooches. While at an auction over the weekend with a friend I found many vintage neckties in beautiful fall colors. I love mixing the ties with feathers and vintage buttons.

This brooch has a wonderful vintage houndstooth button, golden tulle, coordinating fabric pieces (with raw edges) and a beautiful feather in gold, black white and gray. The vintage ties pieces used here are navy and white and a checked olive, ivory, navy and gold. This brooch has a very layered look.

This little brooch looks great on a jacket, coat, dress, bag, sweater, scarf or hat. Recently, a fellow Etsian wrote and suggested these pins/brooches could also make a groom's boutonniere. I think she had a great idea...the pins are very unisex.

This vintage necktie brooch measures: 4 1/4 inches x 2 inches. (Or 10,7cm x 5cm)
