I've always liked these but I never see them anymore. I think the last time I saw one was over twenty years ago. I think it's a generational thing and older ladies just don't leave behind stuff like this anymore, and pins and brooches aren't worn like they used to be. My grandma had a lot of costume jewelry, but that side of the family is huge and there were so many daughters and granddaughters when she passed, that each of the ladies received a piece to remember her instead of it all going to one person.
was it something I said?
