Today’s #BroochOftheDay is Old Man Walrus by #Erstwilder, from 2017. In honour of my hobbling around on one of my walking sticks. I don’t look nearly as dapper, but then, my tusks aren’t quite so protruding, so there’s that.

Arvo, Toots! Well, the physiotherapist pushed at my back and hip and shoulders, and told me what I already knew - things are crunchy because I’m not moving and stretching enough. Get moving!
Anyway, today’s #BroochOfTheDay is from #Erstwilder. While most people are probably familiar with red poppies for remembrance, fewer are familiar with the other colours. #PurplePoppies commemorate all animal deeds and sacrifices in war, today for this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-23/sandy-world-war-one-warhorse-statue-tribute-tallangatta-victoria/102377486

Today’s brooch: “Meet the Merfolk” by Erstwilder. This is quite a big one - 90mm x 90mm, , not including the little anchor. A re-release from 2019, of a design originally made by Louisa Camille.

Today’s brooch of the day is designed by Victorian based artist Pete Cromer, and made by Erstwilder. I bought “The Coy Cockatiel” in memory of my own little bird friend, who was a hand raised darling from a local bird specialist vet. She would demand cuddles and follow me around.

Todays brooch is by Erstwilder, from their recent Vintage Kitchen release, and is called “Spin Me Right Round.

As I love baking, and have fond memories of cooking with both my Nanas, and my Mother, this is one I will be wearing often.

@pliny I lashed out and bought a brooch and a scarf today (I wear a lot of scarves, especially in winter.)

In my defence (giggle!) the brooch was a very clever design - Dick Bruna’s Miffy has three interchangeable party dresses.

And the scarf has Miffy looking at a painting which is an homage to Piet Mondrian, one of my favourite artists.

Oh, I have several Erstwilder ships, and a couple from other makers,too! Will post them soon.

Today's brooch: Bright-Eyed Bibliophile. This is another quirky acrylic piece Australian company Erstwilder, in 2018. I wore it as a necklace today.

Today's brooch is an old favourite, and it's a necklace. "Mimi the Foxy Minx". This is a fairly rare Erstwilder piece (between 100-300 released) from 2014, designed by Louisa Camille, who went on to found her own company, Peppy Chapette.
