I have always been an avid novelty brooch (pin) collector. I still have childhood memories of some favorites that were so well loved that they escaped from my woollen sweaters and little button up blouses. I now organize them in boxes and drawers per season. I have some really weird ones, including gold tigers that drape over my shoulder and stitched green leather cat with a mink fur tail! Lately Bohemian Bisoux has filled her shop with brooches that loom as if they had jumped out of my boxes and swam all the way to the us into her shop!
Since novelty brooches can be pricey, I am hoping this $50 gift certificate giveaway will enable you to begin your collection of novelty brooches! Otherwise there are some beautiful clothing items for all the clothing admirers hehe.

you truly have the BEST accessories! my best novelty brooches are a tiny beaded leather moccasin, a matching baby in a papoose and a turquoise tomahawk. they are so delicate and beautiful, i'm scared to wear them! (ps i've been following your blog for years! i've been using feedly to read it!)
I follow through Feedly and FB and everywhere you lurk ; ) Bohemian has such great pieces. I've been obsessed with wood and plastic and felt brooches. My newest acquisitions include a wooden bowling ball that hits a bunch of bakelite pins, a singer sewing machine with sewing notions dangling, and a pin with my name on in wire wrapped around mother of pearl with a dangly star! I'll announce it on Twitter!
I follow through blogger / google! I've been an admirer or Bohemian Bisoux for a while now! She's always got such fantastic treasures! Her selection of brooches right now are so fun, though I can't decide if I like the Balalaika brooch or the dog head brooch the best! My favourite out of my own collection would have to be my leather hand sewn two doggies brooch from the 30s or my 60s red lobster brooch (because it reminds me of Schiapperelli) :P. I've also shared this contest on my facebook page and twitter!
I follow you through blogger! aaaaaaaaaaand I totally love all of these brooches. Hands down my favourite is this one though: http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/167764625/vintage-40s-novelty-brooch-1940s?ref=shop_home_active

I unfortunately don't have a novelty brooch collection but I am looking forward to starting one soon, and I hope that I can start it with the Fido brooch from Bohemian Bisoux.
Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway! xo
I follow your blog through good old blogger, and see you on Facebook, I tweeted your rad competition. I Instagrammed my favourite brooches, here they are below, heaps good! I made them myself because you're certainly right about novelty jewellery being expensive.
Of course I follow you lovely! On blogger I think? I love this!!
I also just shared this on Facebook. ;)
i'm following on google friend connect :)
i have so many old animal brooches that belonged to my mom, but i have a few from my great aunt who passed them down to me :) one in particular reminds me of a snowflake with lovely blue stones, they're very dear to me
She has some really fantastic ones in her shop! I love those hazelnuts, but the dog head is also pretty fine. My favorite from my person collection is a tiny rotary telephone: the base of the phone is attached to the earpiece by a tiny little chain. Its former owner had written their initials on it with a ball point pen!
