Vintage Stick Pins


When I was young and worked in an office every day, I always wore a pin on my blouse or jacket.  I remember my favorites were my stick pins which were so popular in the 60's.  I was going through my jewelry yesterday and came across these three.  The cut-out  monogram was mine and the other two were my mothers.  I remember cross stitching the tiny S for her.




I decided to put them in this pincushion on my dresser so I can enjoy them.  Who knows, I may even wear one of them sometime.

  1. I still have a couple of gold stick pins left, but I have lost the end thingies. I used to have a cross stitch 'S' one too. ;-)

  5. Those are cute Sharon! I love the one with your initials on it. I can't imagine cross stitching such a small letter like that! You did a great job on that!

  7. Oh I love stickpins and hatpins also Sharon and although mine are all lost (on many moves around the country) I am enjoying looking at yours!
    Have a happy, bright day!
