Chances are it will hit me again one day, but it's odd for those kinds of details to elude me, so I really do hope I remember soon.<br /><br />Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that you have a tricky time with bangles. Is there a specific issue regarding them that I might be able to help with?<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-78204387339131712212013-08-05T08:11:29.871-07:002013-08-05T08:11:29.871-07:00You are a brave woman to go out in that heat!

I like that they can be fun, serious, silly, send a message or just be purely decorative. You have inspired me to write my own top ten brooch post and I look forward to yours!

For a really long time, though I always had at least a few, I shied away from brooches for the same reason I do most metal jewelry - I'm super allergic to nickel, and so many costume jewelry items contain it. However, a couple of years back I discovered that if I put enough layers of fabric (clothing) between my skin and the brooch, if it did indeed contain nickel, I could usually remain safe and from that moment on, my passion for brooches exploded! :)<br /><br />For sure, I can definitely do a post one day highlighting some of my favourite brooches. Thank you for the request, dear Kate (as well as for all of your terrific blog comments). It would be oodles of fun to see some of your personal faves as well!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-13684036801556142282013-08-03T14:33:38.832-07:002013-08-03T14:33:38.832-07:00Actually, a top ten current favourite brooches pos...Actually, a top ten current favourite brooches post would be really interesting.

Thank you! Partnering red and green does always have the potential to veer into Christmas territory, but I find that it you keep the proportion of one vastly above the other and introduce another colour (ideally not white!), that can often be avoided, which is great, because I love the two together (they make me think of roses, which are my all-time fave flower).<br /><br />Big hugs!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-40808326571570849662013-08-02T15:45:52.225-07:002013-08-02T15:45:52.225-07:00What a pretty outfit, I love seeing how you have i...What a pretty outfit, I love seeing how you have interpreted your Canada Day theme.

Between the paper crafter and the "make do and mend" 1940s spirit in me, it's pretty much impossible for me not to save and reuse ribbon and other pretty packaging that comes on things I buy. This little black ribbon is now about 1.5 years old, has been worn probably 20 times, and still looks great. You can't beat that for something that was as good as free. :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68489826469846796502013-07-31T02:54:47.644-07:002013-07-31T02:54:47.644-07:00Thank you very much, dear Karen, that means a lot ...Thank you very much, dear Karen, that means a lot to me.
