Thrifting for brooches is incredibly satisfying if that's the sort of thing your into. Actually, thrifting for anything is quite satisfying.
When my brooch obsession was just blooming, my mom surprised me with 3 beautiful, thrifted brooches, and a fabulous square Paris themed scarf! Since then, looking for brooches in thrift stores has been on my mind. When you think about it, if you went to the Bay for example looking for a statement brooch, you could potentially be paying $25.00+ for a piece of plastic made in China with absolutely no history or background whatsoever. But if you hit up a thrift store and look in the jewelry section, there a countless beautiful brooches that are super cheap compared to retail, and a good portion of them are vintage/antique and have been passed down in different families from great grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers, and each piece is almost guaranteed to have some type of background to it!
Each brooch I got cost between $1.00-$5.00 which is a good price to pay for a quality piece of statement jewelry!
