{ cheryl and jim} september 13

Cheryl came to me a few months ago and asked if I would make her a brooch bouquet.  I said I had never made one but I'd love to try!  She was so trusting and easy to work with.  She provided me with a gorgeous brooch from her mother for the center of the bouquet.  She asked that I include birth stones to represent her family members; along with a symbol to celebrate Jim's service in the Navy.  Over this past year I collected brooch's that I thought would work well for a fall inspired bouquet.  I ended up using 35 in all!

One of my favorite elements was this pair of "love birds".
