Curated

I discovered Ruthi Auda about two years ago when she was in charge of display at the Newport Beach Anthropologie. In a recent blog post she shared a selection of lapel pins from her travels. 

Katie (my sister) also collects these pins from our travels.  This is her collection pictured here. 

You'd be surprised at how many different styles you can find any place you go. I like to send postcards from our trips, she hunts for these pins. lf we come across a vintage or thrift store we'll usually stop in to see if there are any. Whenever she finds a great one, she buys a second in a contrasting color for her friend Brady. Sometimes I borrow my current favorite, right now it's the Guinness pin. It's got great curves and it reminds me of our fun trip to Dublin. Above and below is Katie's collection of pins.

Thank you Ruthi for sharing and for the inspiration.
