Brooches


This is a cute dragonfly brooch I recently picked up. I am not sure if this is Sterling Silver and it is really nice quality . 
I am using it to pair with some of my floral artwork.





My mother had this in her jewelry box when I was growing up.  It is a badge in brownies group. 

She never spoke of where it came from.


 




This was from my Aunt's estate and this is what I found on line










This was a part of Mrs Appleton's estate. She was our neighbor growing up in LaSalle



I purchased this in the Laurentians at an Roadside Antique Barn run by a wonderful guy named Jacques. 
Its an Antique brooch with a man portrait.
A nostalgic vintage costume jewelry piece.
Age unknown

Size approx.: 2.6 cm
I am unsure what type of metal it is.
There is some crazing on the glass.
There is also signs of green oxidation which looks copper.

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The  Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like  this  in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
