Treasure hunt ...

A couple of weeks ago the gorgeous (and hilarious) Sandra over at Peaches McGinty mentioned her brooches.  Sandra can usually be seen wearing one … or two … perhaps more brooches and "operates on a brooch measure of happy".

Well this got me thinking … which is a very dangerous turn of events indeed.

It got me thinking about brooches …  and my appalling lack thereof.

But then … somewhere in the far recesses of my mind … right at the back … in the dark … behind the algebra and old boyfriends … a little memory stirred.

"By jingo … I think I have a brooch after all".

It was last seen a long, long time ago … and last worn even longer ago still … but I had a brooch … and it was made of something very, very delicious and luscious and loved by everyone.

So off I went on the hunt … searching for long forgotten treasures.

I started in the obvious place … my jewellery drawer.


I delved deep … rediscovering forgotten things … like my beautiful Mum's pearls, watch and locket.


And her engagement ring … which I had to wear for a little while … cause it made me sad … and happy.


I stumbled on this little beauty … which I'm pretty sure a lady my Mum worked with brought me back from Italy when I was in primary school.


And then I found it … hidden at the bottom … like all good treasure should be.

The box of mystery.


This is it … I can feel it in my waters ... now I'll find that long lost brooch.

AND I DID … what's more I found a few more.


See I told you it was made of something delicious and luscious and loved by everyone.


Hey Sandra … what's the brooch measure of happiness for a brooch made of chocolate?

Anyone else found some hidden treasure lately?

    That micro-mosaic bracelet is lovely, so vibrant and pretty. My Mum's engagement ring is in a box in a drawer, too. She never wore it (or her wedding ring) but I still feel a bit sad when I see it.
    Love that Kit Kat badge. Do Mackie D badges still look like that? You could eBay them to some crazed collector?! xxx

      I'll bet there is a market for them somewhere … especially the white one with the orange M … it's real vintage … circa 1984.

    of course a choccy brooch trumps the lot, it's the pinnacle of happy! its chocolate! I'd have it as near to my face as possible, 'cos I is classy! you are very lovely, though Missus (right now I am delectably dressed in a housecoat and wild hair, mmm, tasty!) your Maccy D badges are awesome too!
    your Mum's jewellry is lovely, they are beautiful, precious pieces x x x

      Problem is the Kit Kat badge has turned a little yellow … it doesn't look nearly as appetising as it once did. Still … if I get desperate enough ;0)

    Those name tags are quite impressive! Where did you work to get the Kit Kat name tag? Were you a stripper?? I thought so. ;-)

    How lovely to rediscover your mum's jewellery, and I love the Italian mosaic piece.
    Two years' service at McDonalds? You deserve a medal the size of a dinner plate, never mind a badge! xxxx
