Description: Very special vintage handmade brooch:~ Created by artisan Lucinda Yates from Portland, Maine~ Her motto is "Changing the World one Pin at a Time" - and I believe she has accomplished what she has set out to do ~ I love her work and can't say enough about the powerful messages she creates. Originally these were created to benefit charity and also to provide beautiful, affordable, high quality, giftable, wearable pieces of art. They are all of that and so much more. I am in shock and awe that pieces of paper can come together to speak so loudly and evoke such thought and emotion~ This example is from her "House Pins" series ~ Colorful bits of heavy paper cut outs are stacked, layered and arranged to create this scene with houses, a pine tree top peeking out in the background, the bright sun beaming with a pair of cool sunglasses, a single bird flying solo, and a heart on the peak of a home~ This one is square in shape with an arched top and has a bold late 80's / early 1990's pastel on metallic color scheme of light lilac purple, peach, and off white on a plaid patterned background with bronze, copper, and pink glitter stripes - very warm, loving or romantic feel~ Perfect jewelry piece or gift for the bird or cat lover, ophthalmologist / optometrist / eye dr, veterinarian, or Realtor / real estate agent etc Ready and waiting for your lapel, wardrobe, collection, or gift giving - you will love this!AGE OR ERA: True vintage piece - she made these as early as 1989 - this most likely dates from the 1990's MARKINGS: Original sticker on the back that reads HOUSE PINS by Lucinda, www.lucinda.com with a phone number and what I am assuming is a penciled in original price partially covered by the sticker tagMETAL / MATERIAL: Heavy paper with a special thick resin or acrylic type coating to protect and preserve the workCLASP / CLOSURE: Standard safety style pin east west set backMEASUREMENTS: Aprox 1 5/8" x 1 3/4" WEIGHT: xTESTING: xU.S. RING SIZE: xINVENTORY NUMBER OR NOTE: HPBL10CONDITION = Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. Hardware is in good working order. A great find in an excellent state of preservation. "A picture is worth a thousand words"Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ: I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable. The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end. You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region. It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you. I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all. Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction. I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags. I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way. I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount. What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you - just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free. Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :) NO WORRIES - SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
