Q: what goes with metal brooches? A: metal pins!

Continuing our 'something shiny, something sharp' theme :) , Nora pulls this out of her backpack: metal pins! Looking like pretty instruments of torture, Nora got these from the same souk as the brooches in this post. In fact, if you look closely at NY3 and NY4, the finishing and design is similar to brooch NY2 and NY1 respectively. Curlicues and whorls FTW!

Code NY3: Copper pin. Length: 5cm, pinhead 1x1cm.

RM$15 each. Quantity available: 3 2 left!

Code NY4: Silver pin. Length: 5cm, pinhead 1x1cm.

RM$15 each. Quantity available: 3 2 left!

For the sake of full disclosure, we at stuff from my backpack admit that we both have one of these pins. Nora usually wears hers on the shoulder as a scarf fastener while Edna uses it as a sort of button for those blouses that have buttons too far apart and gape unflatteringly. The fact that Edna's dog regularly chews buttons off her clothes mean that these nifty pins are in constant use!

Code NY5: Silver pin with leaf motif. Length: 5cm, pinhead 1x1cm.

RM$15 each. Quantity available: 3

If you take off the safety covering at the pointy end, we discovered that these babies also make quirky if deadly bookmarks (SFMB does not encourage this!). Let's not go that route however and stick (haha) with using the pins just as accessories.
