Latest Fall Fashion Trend - BROOCHES
Well I have to start by saying I am a HUGE fan of brooches, and even though I am a guy, I hav quite a collection. I think brooches add that sparkle or flare to any outfit, handbag or hat! Brooches are the Sparkle that makes your whole outfit POP!
All the big stores (Neiman Marcus, Nordstom, Macy's etc) are showing off their sparkly pins in their ads and catalogs and their on line shops!
Brooch pins are the oldest type of jewelry out there. Since man had worn his first garment (the loin cloth) he needed something to hold it all together: a thorn. Brooches are the most functional piece of jewelry (serving as fasteners for clothing).
This useful ornament become popular in the 19th century. First worn on high necklines, women started placing this decorative detail on other areas of their dresses, coats, and shawls. Made out of metal, silver, gold, and other materials, brooches are designed to be an expressive piece. With intricate wire work, colored enamels, and fancy stones, the brooch can be found in a variety of different vintage and modern styles.
Wear It On Blazers/Outerwear: Take a look in your closet. Find all your basic garments that could use an extra touch of bling (i.e. black blazers, cardigans, shawls, etc.). Place brooch pin on lapels, your front chest, or anywhere around neckline. Don’t be afraid to add multiple brooches for more glitz.
Wear It In Your Hair: As we attend holiday parties, we experiment with different hairstyles and looks. Try putting your hair up or half down, and use bobby pins to fasten your locks. After pinning hair, take a brooch and pin it over the bobby pins, creating support and holding the brooch in an upright position.
Make a pair of Old Jeans Sparkle: add to the pocket area of a old pair of jeans for a little kick!
BEDAZZLE that old handbag or pocket book: just add one two three or more brooches to your old purse/pocketbook and bring it back to life!
These gorgeous works of art have been all the rage for years and have now made a come back so don't miss out on this great style!
Stop by my shop for a huge selection of vintage brooches to add that Fall Fashion Flare to your wardrobe today!! PAGANCELLARJEWELRY

My newest Find!
While I was out and about hunting for my next treasure I cam across my first ever D&E also known as "Juliana" piece. This gorgeous brooch caught my eye immediately! checking the stones and the back of the brooch I was most certain as to what I had found.
I bought it almost instantly and began doing my research. Comparing the prongs and the back to other D&E pieces. Forwarding images to other collector friends, and taking it in to an expert's shop for verification. It was Unanimous I had found my first "Juliana."
I had to share this with my readers since I know that each time we have a first its memorable. I remember my first cameo like it was yesterday!!
This was just a great day that made all the Estate Sale jumping worth it!! :-)
it is now listed here: JULIANA BROOCH

Etsy shop Feature and Giveaway!
I am featuring a great NEW shop here on Etsy! Balance Lady Design
Balance Lady Design is run by Debbie Lessin.
Debbie Lessin, owner of D J Lessin & Associates, Inc., a CPA firm, Balancing Lady Designs fulfills her need for creative inspiration. The Balance Lady Designs collection is all about fabric, function, fashion and fun!
Balance Lady Designs came about as a result of Debbie admiring the amazingly wonderful silk designed by her friend and work neighbor Lee Allison. Lee mostly designs ties under his own label but he also does a lot of custom work for the likes of the Lyric Opera and various corporations like Northwestern Mutual and Miller Beer. He even designed a tie for President Obama's National Finance Committee during the 2008 election. Lee’s ties are available online at www.leesallison.com and at better retail stores throughout the country.
The silk is woven at a 300-year-old family-owned silk mill in England, the same mill that was asked by the Royal Family to weave the silk used for Lady Diana's wedding dress. It's really just amazingly fabulous. Debbie encouraged Lee to create something with his fabric for women. And when he didn’t she did!
Debbie takes Lee’s remnants and re-purposes them into fashionable art jewelry. Her “art for your hair” collection includes bobby pin sets, pony tail holders, headbands and hair clip/pins (dual function). Earrings and cufflinks complete the product line. While many of Lees’ fabric are traditional tie designs, many are whimsical. All the Balance Lady Designs are limited editions; most of the pins are one of a kind.
From sorting the fabric remnant triangles…to planning which size circles to cut for maximum use…to hand cutting the fabric…to covering the five sizes of buttons…to hand 88sewing the pins…to gluing the findings…to packaging and labeling the final product for display, Balance Lady Designs has become Debbie’s “happy place”, a place to express her creative self and find function by re-purposing exquisite fabric for fashion and fun!
