Several months ago, I sold a vintage brooch to a bride-to-be, named Michele. She wrote to tell me that he was using it in her hair on her wedding day as her "something old". I was very honored that an item in my shop would become a part of her special day. My favorite part of collecting antiques is uncovering the stories behind my finds. My favorite part of selling them is hearing about the new stories being created.
Michele wrote: "To some, the brooch would have been just a pin or hair accessory; To me, it was one of the many little details that made our life begin together and our wedding day complete. Again, thank you so very much!"
Just yesterday, she wrote me to thank me for the brooch and sent me a few pictures of her wedding day. This is the best of all compliments for me. It's also what keeps me inspired to continue searching out vintage finds.

I just wanted to send you a little note to thank you so much for selling the vintage brooch I purchased many months ago. I'm not sure if you remember, but I was going to be including it as my "something old" on my wedding day as a hair accessory. I just had to tell you how many compliments I received on the brooch. I absolutely loved the way it looked and it was perfect for my wedding gown. I wanted to send you some pictures, so that you are able to see how one of your items became a part of my special day. I can't wait to see how it came out in the professional pictures! Thank you so incredibly much!
Thank you Michele!!!
I must say that the brooch looks stunning, but not quite as stunning as the bride herself! Thanks Michele for sharing your story!
