It's a Snake!

I have a zoo of brooches, my mom inspired me to collect them because I always see her pinning a sparkling one on herself before she goes to work. Really classy and ever since I tried to collect animal brooches.

Yesterday this hissed at me:



It's a snake! and how hard it is to find animal brooches specially snakes. Now this reptile can terrorize the other animals inside my zoo.



Brooches are usually pinned on blouses but I make them into a make-shift belt buckles :) I love too how each of these brooches have a story to tell, like the spider I bought from Degraves.

The Brooches of Degraves

Early today I walked to Degraves, a small tiny street in the city where coffee and pastry shops are plenty. In between are small boutiques selling clothes, shoes and accessories.


These animal brooches caught my eye



My mom collects them and I often borrow, this was a great opportunity to add more pieces to her collection.



Spiders, lady bugs, sea horses, octopus, swans, etc. It's a zoo of brooches! :)
