My mosaic pin

Isn't this a pretty pin?

I've always wanted a mosaic pin but have never found one while junking - the old ones are too dear to end up in the thrift shop I suspect.

This one was 10 bucks at The Elegant Garage Sale on Bayview Ave in Toronto. You can tell it's old.

It was a deal because there's a tiny bit of red missing on the right-hand side. I can try filling it in with something, but I don't much care as I love it.

  5. I have to tell you that I am spending so much time in your thrift & frugal blog roll. I think I got lost in my few thrift blogs and haven't ventured out in awhile. What a fabulous list.

  6. Apron Thrift Girl I'm so flattered - thank you so much for visiting and commenting! I have been to your blog in the past, and then after you left this comment, and I have to say I'm in absolute awe at your supreme craftiness. I do not have a "crafty" section in my blogroll so I may just have to make one to add you! Please keep reading.
