The Vintage Brooch Show

[@toddledoodle]

It sounds like your mom is around my age. The 1990’s when women wore business suits to work. Back then I seemed go more for whimsical and my favorite designer was JJ. My favorite brooch was a cat standing next to a microwave open the oven door and inside you’ll see a bird praying. A tube of toothpaste, a gold computer, another cat on a shelf with a mouse dangling from his paw. But the ones handed down from my great aunt (a lover of brooches) gave me all her vintage collection she wore in the 1940’s. Mean the most to me. One of hers was a mechanical pencil that hung from a round box pin with a retractable chain attached. In her twenties she worked as a waitress and a customer bought it for her. Also would you mind spelling the name of the online company you spoke of, when showing your cute dog brooch? No matter what decade brooches never go out of style. A brooch can speak volumes about its owners personality, where other jewelry can’t. Love seeing your personal collection. Keep collecting.

I collect and wear brooches also and my 94 year old mom wears them. Some of her vintage ones from the 60s, were gifts from my brother and me. Thanks for sharing your collection!

[@TheGlambassador]

Love it!!

[@Imjetta7]

Fun!! I’ve been collecting for years, but you’ve inspired me to actually wear them!

[@enricamariaromerio1705]

Compliments on your collection. It's stunning and I'm really fond of it.

[@samanthagarrett9411]

I also have a brooch collection! I have a few mosaic brooches. In fact, I found a mosaic rosary,from Italy at a thrift store that I had to have. I think my most prized possession brooch is my bubble gum machine! I just love that one, but I do adore all my brooches. Thanks for sharing!!!💜

[@TheGlambassador]

Mosaic brooches are really special, it's great that you found something that's meaningful for you. The bubble gum machine brooch sounds darling! Does it move at all?

[@samanthagarrett9411]

@@TheGlambassador Unfortunately no. It's painted red with the "bubble gumballs" painted different colors and the "glass" dome that they sit in, is not flat , but a rounded piece of clear plastic. I've tried to find something similar with no luck.

[@prich7989]

I have a little collection of old brooches... They were a present from my mom. She got the most from an old Lady she had cared for and the others are from her mum. Since then I buy online new old pieces to increase my little collection... I'm a beginner on vintage styling but I have always liked the 30 40 50's and found some pieces in my wardrobe that fit very well in that time. I also like all years between 1800 to 1930 but its hard and difficult to wear🤣

[@TheGlambassador]

How lovely! Brooches with fond memories attached are the best. I think they are a great way to start on the journey of wearing vintage.

[@debfore8619]

That first photo of you in the flower dress is stunning!

[@TheGlambassador]

Thank you, I love that dress!

[@audreygillespie8535]

You look very smart in the dress you are wearing the brooch really goes with the colour of dress I agree a brooch can absolutely set off an outfitx thanks for showing us the broochesx

[@susanstaples6171]

Travel brooches are new to me. So fun,

[@boomxmilizexpathacks9440]

The similar micro mosaics are stunning and were def a good purchase!

[@maimeflyte699]

I was increasingly fascinated by the collection, but when you got to the picture of you looking stunning in Paris and Jean Paul G, I was so pleased for you to be recognised as stylish

[@TheGlambassador]

Oh thank you! It was truly a magical experience.

[@ausendabordalo5654]

I have so many brooches and I hardly wear them. You have inspired me to do so. Thankyou so much. Marina

That magna pin (magnetic backing) is genius. I will have get some of those-so I can finally wear my brooches on my “me made” outfits. I never have the heart to poke threw the fabric.

[@TheGlambassador]

Yes it can really be a fabric saver!

[@slogomary]

I love the one too! I can't wait until I can have a proper veggie garden again.

[@susanstaples6171]

Love your sense of style

[@madeleineackos4385]

I started collecting brooches before I went full vintage so I hardly ever wore them. But now I wear them all the time! Someday I’ll be able do them justice and store them as nicely as you have done

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

I've been collecting forever (I'm 50). I wear them with full vintage or retro outfits... or with whatever. I'm a mix an match gal, a "whatever I feel like today" gal.

[@antonette7801]

Just found your channel and love it. I've ordered the Magnapin and can't wait to try it. I got some of my mother's brooches when she passed away and you've inspired me to start wearing them. Thanks

How wonderful to have beautiful brooches that also have memories. I hope you get to wear them more often. ❤️

Thank you so much for your info’s . I enjoy viewing your brooch collection. I am a New viewer but asking if you might someday decide to sell at least one of them😁😁 . Love to buy at least one😁!

I might one day decided to sell a few, but I'm not quite there yet. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I am collecting brooches also.Enjoyed your collection.just subbed.

[@TheGlambassador]

Thanks and welcome

[@carmenbootArt]

Beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing so much beauty. Would you Please tell me how do you store them. I have a lot of them but i just have it in a box. They may get damage. Thank you. Greetings from Holland.

[@TheGlambassador]

Hello and welcome! I currently have two ways of storing/displaying my brooches. The first is a board that my husband made for me. It's just a frame with some foam/batting and fabric placed over it. I can poke the brooch pins through the fabric so they hang nicely. The second is just a small drawer built into my wardrobe with a piece of felt fabric. Here the brooches simply lay on the fabric in the drawer. If you check out my "Tour my dressing room" video, you can see both of these.

[@Katherine-rq8mk]

Been collecting vintage jewelry since I was eight, I m 63. Like your presentation without the Hallmark/designer mention cuz sometimes it's all about that instead of creative merit... but me thinks you have a couple of $$ pieces

[@TheGlambassador]

You think so? Interesting, I've never really cared for who the designer was, if I like it, I buy it. But it's interesting to think I might have some valuable pieces.

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

I recently started collecting brooches and am wondering the best way to store them. I'd like them on display also.

[@TheGlambassador]

If you take a look at the tour of my dressing room, you can see how I've displayed mine.

[@annhalton1963]

Nice collection, but teach us more about all the brooches. Thanks.

[@brendasoler4759]

New subbie here. What a stunning collection! I’m a brooch girl, too, and appreciate your taste in brooches and how you presented them. Happy New Year.

Thanks for subbing!

I love your Momma said to you! And may I please just say, without sounding creepy, but your skin is flawless! Sure would like to know what all you you. Now, vintage brooches...You have a goodly amount of the jewelry and I know you had fun finding, enjoying, learning and wearing! Thank you.

[@TheGlambassador]

Oh thank you! I have two videos showing my skin care rituals, those will give you all the info.

[@ts-eu6mp]

@@TheGlambassador Oh, bless you for that. You remind me of Snow White! I used to want a cottage in the woods the looked jus like that! Silly me-but I like details, colors, the way she cleaned and tidied everything up! I will certainly looking forward to the skin care videos. I love the red lip and the fingernail polish. I see some things behind you that are right up my alley. This will be so nice of a site to come to! Thank you, ts

To display your brooches use photo frame fairly deep with glass

Good afternoon, Could you advice, where I can buy the magnet pins, it is very nice thing, pls? Thank you

If you check the caption on this video, there is a link for it.

[@jenniferbaker3207]

Love your videos I’m a new subscriber I’ve got my mother into this channel as well. I know this is one of your older vids but it came up in my feed. I noticed that gorgeous hat lady behind you. I collect hat pins and was wanting to find something like it. I’ve looked but can’t find one that has brown hair and looks Victorian instead of 1950s. Would you happen to know the maker of yours? I was going to look it up see if I could find one like it or similar. Thanks

[@TheGlambassador]

I’m so glad you are enjoying my channel. I believe I found my head vase on Etsy. I agree the darker haired ones are harder to find. I’m always in the lookout for them at flea markets and antique shops.

[@Victoria-nh9sp]

I love brooches to, but u do know your Ma 's cat and fish broich is worth thousands!

[@TheGlambassador]

I doubt that. They are a dime a dozen. You can find these on eBay or Etsy for less than $30.

[@vogeltik]

The cat with the fish has a large clear area. This would qualify as a jelly belly and yes they are valuable 😀

[@suzybausch8587]

Do you remember ballpark what the ikea pieces cost altogether?

[@TheGlambassador]

Oh gosh, it was so long ago. We bought it all when we were in Germany, but I think it was somewhere around €1,300 or €1,400 for everything. The only thing that we bought separately here in Hawaii were the lights.

[@magalimadeleine]

Hi ! Could you be so kind as to give a reference to those magnet you can slip on the brooch in order not to damage fabric ! I love the idea and can't seem to find them, or maybe I just don't know what to type to find them. I only wear brooches on some fabrics and it would allow me to wear them on anything I want ! Thanks a lot.

They don't get that dusty really. But if I'm going to be wearing one and it happens to need a little love, a damp cloth works well.

I have purchased two old broochs with a safety chain ' how do you use the saftey chain on a brooch

[@TheGlambassador]

Usually you just pin the brooch where you want to wear it and then attach the safety pin somewhere nearby so the chain hangs nicely. Think of how a watch chain looks, it’s sort of like that.

You are a. Erg pretty lady

[@roboko6645]

you have beautiful jewelry 👍 However, your concept of this video is that I was fast forwarding the whole time. I have a few minor criticisms. 1. In a 16-minute video, you talk for a full 6 minutes before you see the first piece of jewelry. 2 Perhaps you prefer to hold each piece in your hand briefly so that you can see it better, because close-ups are tiring . Too bad, I would have liked to subscribe to you because of your jewelry, but unfortunately I was just annoyed. 😒
