Brooches for Winter

I fully intended to hold back this post until it was a bit closer to winter, and the winter holidays, but since all of these brooches are available right now, on ebay, I thought I'd go ahead and give you some eye candy...

Even the "non-brooch" people among us have to admit that these are pretty -especially when aggregated thematically...  And the vintage brooches are often beautiful quality for a modest price!
