Yesterday I had 4 little packages in my mailbox, which was SO exciting! The pins I've ordered on Etsy and Ebay are starting to arrive. I'm taking a break from my ordering now so I can start assembling some stems on the pins, and I have several friends now scouting out thrift shops and antique stores looking for treasures. My mom found two today, and the shop owner was quite taken with the idea, and said she has more pins at home AND several more sources! I have another friend I met through Metal Clay who lives in Colorado and is scouring stores out her way for unique pins (Thanks Donna!)
Here's the start of the collection (minus the two my mom picked up this afternoon)
The butterflies are from Wichita. I only ordered once, but Etsy seller EnamelOwl was SO sweet and sent me the second one for free! The large daisy in the top right is from Chicago, and from Etsy seller RobertRagdoll. The wonderful black eyed Susan (probably my favorite one!) is from Texas, Etsy seller GypsyFeather. They were all wonderful to do business with, and sent my pins so super quick! The blue flower is my "something new" and "something blue". It was made by a local artist, Lucia. She hand cut the flower from copper, and then enameled it. Love it! And finally, the mosaic pin is a true antique. It belonged to my great (or possibly great great, my mom couldn't remember) grandmother! A family heirloom and a lovely addition to the bouquet.
LOVE this one!
I'll keep posting as I assemble the bouquet. Next step will be attaching the "stems". Stay tuned!

You are lucky you received your item from EnamelOwl. I haven't received my purchases yet & she has EIGHT negative feedbacks from people who haven't received their purchases. I'd be REALLY cautious about doing business with this particular seller!
I adore the mosaic pin. I have a pin I bought as part of an auction lot that is mosaic but its in the form of a guitar. Very random but very pretty as it's quite colourful :)

I appreciate the work here, I was familiar with some of these, but Design Instruct is becoming a new favorite of mine now! I don’t know what I would do for projects without sources of inspiration like these blogs.
