Some new little lovelies

I returned from Yorkshire, to find not one but two little parcels waiting on my arrival. Yippee. I'm not sure what happened last week, but I obviously had a bit of a brooch thang going on. And here are my two new little lovelies:

I first learnt about Joanna Rutter here, and couldn't help myself when I saw this beautiful hedgerow brooch. I actually thought I was pretty restrained not to have spent a lot more, so lovely are all of her designs. The parcel arrived in the most wonderful packaging too, which, had I not been so excited to open, would actually have been worthy of a photograph in its own right.

My next little lovely is from Jaqueline Wagner, which my already lowered brooch-buying defences could not resist this either.

All I have to do now, is decide which one to wear first.

And perhaps stop looking at brooches for a while.
