Strawberries!

I'm back for another REDNESDAY, hosted by Sue at My Secret Garden. If you love red, go see all the ways this color is incorporated into people's lives, and think about joining in next week.
Since it's strawberry season, I thought I'd share this awesome vintage bejeweled strawberry pin. Like most of my vintage jewelry, I stole it from my mother. I've only worn it a couple of times because I forget how great it is and don't think to put it on. It's only missing a couple of jewels, which doesn't take away from its beauty at all.This Friday is also the Strawberry Festival here in Franklin, MA. Check it out if you're in the area!

  1. What a beautiful pin.
    There's so many SPECIAL things going on every single day here in Blogland that I am trying to do them all and it's wearing me out!! haha...I will try to to Redness Day again soon. Also Flaunt your Reds is coming up on the 26th so I need to work on a post for that.
    Have a great day...

  2. My copy of 'Strawberry Hill' arrived yesterday - I'm saving it as a read aloud for our drive to Atlanta next month! Looks great!

  3. Good day to you, too, Elizabeth! Thanks for the heads up on the Strawberry Festival! My sis just moved out of Franklin two weeks ago, so I emailed her the info.

    I think the time of day is odd - while people are at work and all.

    I love your brooch!

  4. I am glad you have joined the REDnesday meme. Love the old brooch. It is still very sparkly. I guess I can't check out the Strawberry Festival. Kind of hard to get there from California. LOL!

    Hope you have a great day!

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
