Christmas Pins

This year I vowed to wear some of my Christmas jewelry, especially pins. For an event on Friday I chose this one, handmade and given to me by a favorite co-worker about twelve years ago. It is one of my new ones. They are a little like ornaments for the tree, each with a special memory. A few I have bought just because I liked them, and I find I still do. Pins were important piece of jewelry in my mother's and grandmother's generations and into my younger adult years. They really are quite pretty.
