Thank you for watching!
A few of you have asked how I store my jewelry, and I do show my system in my closet tour video from a while back, which you can see here: ua-cam.com/video/Emq_2UmxVbM/v-deo.html if you would like! The velvet trays I use are from Michaels crafts, but are very similar to these ones on Amazon amzn.to/2jXPvkK
) have several branches myself and have no way of dating them. I do enjoyed your collection.
Oh, I’d love that “items with a story” video. Stories are my favourite part of buying/wearing vintage. :)
L Yess! I always love my pieces with super specific stories behind them, makes them that much more dear to my heart💖
I ABSOLUTELY agree!
Good Golly!! What an impressive collection! It was impossible to pick a favorite. That being said, my favorite category are the insects.
I really, really like the ones you made.
A longform unscripted video showcasing items that come along with personal anecdotes would be fun! I would watch it - but that's coming from someone who watches pretty much all of your content, so maybe that doesn't mean much, lol.
Thank you Michaela!
Personally I loved your straw hat collection video. Lovely video as always!
Thank you!
Adored this!! Particularly love your bugs - and love the fact that humans, throughout time, have apparently enjoyed pinning giant bugs to ourselves. Kind of a funny habit considering how most of us feel about encountering giant bugs in real life. :)
Thank you! I am absolutely terrified of bugs in reality, but I loved the jeweled ones! Trying to harness the power of the thing feared most or some such perhaps ;)
The brooches are cute but your MAKEUP 😮😍🔥
Thank you! ;) I'll have a tutorial for this look on my beauty channel next week
You are the only one I know who can rock yellow eyeshadow 😉
Well thank you! I love yellow eyeshadow ;)
I agree. Together wit the hair and the kimono robe, you have a very edgy Geisha/ Cleopatra vibe goin' on.
I Loved the straw hats ep. Show us ya brooches lady - fellow vintage brooch junky.
That 1940's Lucite sword brooch is to DIE for doll!
What an amazing, stunning collection! I'm very jealous!
Beautiful make up btw!Xx
Thank you Jo! That clear one was only $15, such a score, I was so pleased
@@TheClosetHistorian 😱x
You should do an "Items With A Story" video where you invent the stories for different items and the people that owned them first, and then base the characters of the original owners on the sense of style and personality that is communicated through the items! That way you'll have lots of material for an "items with a story vid" AND we could get to hear your authorly voice, which we haven't had the chance to hear yet, its a double win :)
Oh man! This sounds like a lot of fun, but also like a lot of work ha! ;) I need more hours in each day
I second this! It might inspire a whole new series of books!
Wow some of those repros are SO. MUCH. FUN.! Beautifully shot.. love them all. Eapecially that sword and all the leaf bundle ones 😍
Thank you Brenda! I do love a sword brooch :)
I was fortunate in that my aunt would let us look through her costume jewelry boxes. I looked forward to my visits with her. My favorite pin was an old plastic(I think) pheasant. I would find a nice sweater in her closet and a scarf to go with it and ask her to please put them on. She looked Chic and outdoorsy at the same time! She made a little girl very happy.
The hand fan motif was used a lot in the 1980s
In fabrics for clothing fashion and home decor. Vases, wall hangings, pillows etc etc etc!
Some of your brooches look like the corsages worn I the 1960's !!!!!! Wooooow. They were pretty much out of Vogue by the late 60's. I'm going to wear a Christmas corsage this year. Yessss. Thanks for taking me back there.
Your eye make-up is fabulous. Love all the brooches in those different materials. I've got a good few brooches myself in different plasticky materials and some jewelled ones (well, fake gemstones). I particularly like animal and bird brooches. I'm envious of that little boat with the flags, though. 💚
Thank you Pamela! I don't often get many nautical occasions to wear that one :)
Firstly, the yellow-gold eyeshadow is popping. Your novelty’s brooches are beautiful and unique. The one’s made by you are beautiful. I loved this video. I wear brooches all the time to church. They make you look so elegant and refined.
Thank you Karen! Brooches are my favorite vintage jewelry item to collect
Love the brooches especially the insect ones and the yellow eyeshadow looks really good on you...
Thank you Susan!
I was never that interested in jewelry in general, but there's something really charming about vintage plastic and celluloid. I've just discovered lucite recently through vintage jewelry and I just love it. Funnily enough, I've actually seen some modern barrettes and earrings in store that look like vintage lucite, it's wild.
I'm on the search now for a confetti lucite and mother of pearl compact set and I think I might be waiting a while, haha.
I love confetti Lucite! I think I just like glitter/confetti in general though, so it makes sense :)
I could listen to you ramble all day. Loved your collection! My favorite was the black cat.❤
Thank you Dona!
Loved this! I started collecting vintage brooches about 6 years ago, most of mine are from the 50s and 60s and I’m always on the look out for fun pieces. I now realize I have a distinct lack of dangling brooches which must be remedied immediately. I would love a video that has some stories behind some of your finds. Thanks as always for an awesome video.
Thank you Brianna! I do have a bit of a thing for dangling brooches I suppose :)
I have brooches from the 80's and 90's. My cousins see this as a rather embarrassing eccentricity on my part but I don't care. I love brooches and your collection is making a little green with envy!
They are missing out! I'll never understand why brooches aren't more popular anymore! Happy to be eccentric along with you :)
Gasp! How could they not love the hats??? I adore all of the spike/claw like ones in the beginning!
Thank you Thea!
Your collection is astoundingly great; You have an array of whimsical pieces that are all unusual but ties together with joy. I am really impressed. I felt like I had seen it all in the past -- you wowed me. Great job! My mother collected only scottie brooches. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Tracy!
Oh, yes! "Items with a story" please!!!!
Big hug from Barcelona! :)
Thank you!
Fabulous collection! Adore the little white cat in the ring and anything made of celluloid or lucite!
Thank you!
I love these shares. Even if they get less views. I find them so relaxing.
Oh my yes these are awesome 😎
Your bug collection is perfect...but always in need of further expansion...😎😎😎
Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with us...🦋🐌🐝🐜🐞🕷🕸
Thank you Raelene! I always have room for another bug, well, jeweled bug that is :)
What! Not many watched the hat collection? I did watch it twice though and took notes. Beautiful video! My favourites from this video are the sailboat pin, the black and silver horn, the paint palette in diamonds, and the blue-ish cherries from Luxulite. I would love to hear more about your speical items with a story. Thank you very much, Bianca!
Beautiful collection, loved them all! Did you ever read Madeline Albright's book, "Read My Pins?" Her collection of pins while she served as Secretary of State.
gwen I’ve been wanting to pick that up, I will have to do that soon.
sounds interesting!
Thank you Gwen! I have not read that book, it sounds quite interesting. I was lucky enough to see Madeline Albright speak once, as she spoke at my younger brother's university graduation ceremony, which was lovely!
I love that snake brooch at the end!
There were way too many brooches that I just adored! Also, that eye look is stunning!
Thank you!
Such fun! You sure have a love for bugs and creepy crawlers!
Do you have any Bakelite purses? My grandma had so many wonderful ones. Maybe she had 2 or 3 but I remember her having lots! She’d square dance with my grandpa Saturday nights. She’d be all decked out in her costume with matching purse. The handles, the fabrics inside, the clasps!
Thank you Brenda! I do quite like a bug/insect brooch :) I don't have any Bakelite purses, but I do have two Lucite ones, one clear and one pearl white with pierced silver toned metal. I don't use them much because they seem easy to break and don't fit much! They were gifts from my grandparents
The little gazelle at 6:40 is so cute!
So many beautiful pins! I look simply wrong, as one of my friends put it in any yellow metal, but the first pin - wow! And I love the red cellulite circle with flora. Just adored the straw hat collection. I LOVE a good hat! ❤️👏🏻💋
Thank you Jo! That is a harsh friend there ;) I would think a brooch can be far enough away coloring doesn't matter right? I dunno, I never follow the rules ha!
Actually, I rarely wore gold anyway and he was just being a smart alec about it. Old friend - raving queen! Lol 😂
I love the coral colored one with fall leaves and bells, oh the semi circle one is very interesting,aww the fancy cat, also the fan, oh the navy blue flowers are gorgeous ❤️ Thank you for sharing ❤️
Of course the diamond spider as well ❤️
I also ❤️ all the flying things and those lovely leaves the black and brass I think are my favorite so far lol
Such a privilege you saw Madeline Albright! Her pin collection toured different cities awhile back, a real treat!
It was very lucky! Just happened to be one of the commencement speakers so that was fun! That would be a fun exhibition indeed. I know Queen Elizabeth often chooses brooches very strategically as well, I wonder if they have ever had such an exhibition in the UK too.
I can see many of your brooches on hat's and berets! I hope you try doing that in some of your upcoming videos!
loved seeing all of the bug themed brooches!
Thank you! I love bug brooches but am very afraid of real bugs ;)
Great collection, hope you have the chance to wear them all! Your eye make-up is fabulous! You can really pull that intense color off quite well!
Thank you Rosemary!
beautiful collection! Some of that plastic/bakelite stuff from the 30s and 40s is awesome. Love viewing your videos.....thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for beautiful things. And love the eye makeup!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for showing me this stuff . Its give me idea what to pick up .
My passion for brooches just started at the ripe old age of 45 so thanks for the inspiration to hunt more!
Your makeup is gorgeous ! Love the brooch video - thank you. Astounding when you think about it - that there was a time BEFORE plastic.
Wonder if there'll be a time after plastic
Or if we will be around for the time after plastic! eeek
Thank you Christine!
Brooches are my weakness,have a huge collection.Thank You so much for this video and others,what a treat!
Thank you Ewa!
I collect brooches,love brooches and your collection is fantastic,it was pleasure to watch,thank You
Thank you Ewa!
That was quite interesting. Cherries and insects seemed very popular. That lucite dagger really stood out but I was really drawn to the spiders too for some reason lol. I need to look for this stuff at thrift stores and yard sales!
That was so fun and talk about eye candy!! Stunning collection! I don't know why I missed your hat collection I think you're right the algorithms are a little bit off and I'm not always getting your notifications.😪.. you look stunning your makeup and your hair absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you Jody! I hadn't done my hair properly curled in a while and I had missed it :)
Your storage for so many brooches much be H U G E ! I have a large collection of pins, costume jewelry from years of shopping at random garage sale and my husband has purchased me some fabulous finds over the years. Also prices range from $.25 to $2.00 but one of my favorite necklaces is a opal about size of half dollar (but oval) and white 18 kt gold for $.75, he had appraised , it was $2000.00 yep and I love it. I also like the rhinestone pieces.
I actually don't have a ton of storage space, you can see how I have my jewelry stored in my closet tour video here if you'd like :) ua-cam.com/video/Emq_2UmxVbM/v-deo.html It sounds like you've made some excellent finds!
Coming to my comfort channel for another binge.
This silly goose was overlooking some pieces for a jacket, and my finger got in the way. The needle went through the nail bed and out the other side of my finger, ricocheted off the bone and bent in the process. Still with thread attached.
So I'm on pain relief and antibiotics. Who knew sewing was an extreme hobby?!
Ouch! Wishing you a quick healing!!
@@TheClosetHistorian thank you. Pretty much healed now.
Thank you for taking the time to show us your glorious collection! I think the jumping deer looks very old and unusual to me- perhaps more 1930s?
Thank you Melili! I think it looks very art deco too, but it can be hard to know if they are later versions of when a style gets popular again, I can see it as art deco, as sleek 1950's, later 1970's deco revival, it's hard to say for sure!
I liked the Christmas brooch you made, and I'm a sucker for insects and acorns. These may be the "lesser materials" brooches, but the colors and shapes are so fun and happy that I prefer them to their more lofty silver and gold counterparts.
Thank you Johanna! I like the pure fun of these too, not trying to be anything fancy, just very fanciful :)
I enjoyed your gloves and hat collections! 😄🌻 beautiful brooches 💚 history of your items would be lovely to see
Thank you Lisa!
What an awe inspiring, wondrous collection! I was waiting for the snake, of course. My favourites are the little scotty dog and all the insects. I love embroidering insects. I live in South Africa and travel all over the continent, so I see a lot of them. I collect African textiles because the are easy to travel around with.
Oh, and I would have loved to have you talking about them. The wording on the left top was a little bit small.
Your collection is beautiful! I have the Avon golden leaf and wear it every autumn as often as possible, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Carla! I love autumn leaves obviously if this collection is anything to go by ;)
Those earrings you’re wearing are so beautiful! 💝💝
Thank you! They were from Old Navy of all places
Superb collection and a great video presentation to show them! The Trifari white strawberry pin looks quite similar to my Originals by Robert red strawberry pin which I think dates to the 60s. Thank you for sharing your wonderful pieces with us!
Thank you!
I remember playing with that flamingo brooch as a child. It came from my great aunt I think. So I know it was made before the early sixties. You used to buy these kinds of brooches at the local five and dime.
That particular brooch was inspired by one created by Cartier for the Duke/Duchess of Windsor in 1940, and then knocked off ever since I suppose! www.cartier.com/en-us/maison/living-heritage/cartier-collection/1/5.html
I liked both this video and the hat and glove videos. Also your make up in this video is stunning. You rock!
Thank you!
This was fun! Bianca you have a truly fabulous collection! You asked which were our favourites in this collection. Hard to choose, but here were mine: the celluloid nautical theme, the red celluloid maple leaves (I'm Canadian, of course I would love this!), the MCM boomerangs and the rhinestone artist's palette were real standouts for me. I always look out for brooches and beads when out thrifting, and am a fan of Luxulite on etsy (but haven't purchased from her yet).
As for future video ideas, have you ever considered a "shop your closet" or outfit idea theme? This would be you putting together new outfit ideas from items you already have. It's easy to get stuck in a rut and always wear say, a certain blouse with the same skirt each time, but I try to challenge myself to mix it up occasionally.
Thank you Heidi! I do think that red brooch is perfectly Canadian with those red leaves, I'll wear it if I ever get to visit. :)
I would love to do more videos mixing and matching things from my closet, or just making outfits in general, but unfortunately they don't tend to do nearly as well as videos with the word "haul" or "thrift" in the title. Even my lookbooks get barely half of the views my hauls do, and while that doesn't mean I won't do styling videos (as I do enjoy making them!) it does mean if I want to grow my channel and make a bit of a part time income here online I have to be strategic about when I upload videos that I know won't do well by the numbers. It's an unfortunate truth!
I love your novelty collection of brooches. I have been collecting for years mine are mostly Mexican silver, victorian agate or Danish pieces. I always enjoy your video content.
Thank you Nancy! I'd love to collect some Victorian brooches :)
Amazing collection! I love celluloid brooches for some crazy reason, I’d say i have at least a dozen but some of my brooches I call “plastic” might be celluloid , do you have any special way of tell them apart? Also I went back to watch your other 2 brooch collection videos (I somehow missed sadly) Fabulous job displaying & describing each. Can you also in the future show how you store them? At the moment I have each bagged in plastic bags & stored into an archival box. (Its a pain trying to find the one I want to wear & not sure if plastic bags are good to store them in. Love your channel! Thank you for sharing I was drooling over all your beautiful brooches! 💗💗💗
Thank you! I don't really have a way to tell the different types of plastic apart, other than the vintage dealers I buy from having labeled something in the listing and agreeing with their assessments. Celluloid does seem to have almost something waxy about the finish of it sometimes that seems a bit of a give away, but I am not an expert! I store my brooches in velvet lined trays in my jewelry drawers of a standing dresser, you can see this in my closet tour video if you would like :) ua-cam.com/video/Emq_2UmxVbM/v-deo.html
TheClosetHistorian I watched the storage video this morning, it seems I watched it before noting the red time line was at the end. I must have forgotten watching, you have an incredible collection my friend. My issue is wanting all my brooches in one spot I’m not too sure how to do that since my walk-in closet (which was once one of the guest rooms next to my room & my dad/bless his heart converted into a huge walk-in for me) is jam packed, I have a coat obsession too 🤪 (purses, shoes, boots ugh! I’m out of control) I’m thinking of an armoire perhaps. So what is your views on my storing each piece in plastic baggies? Thank you for the reply sorry I get long winded Love the shadow can you tell me whom it’s by & shade it’s called? It truly brings out your amazingly beautiful eyes. Thank you again 💖
Love this! What a fantastic collection!
Thank you!
Yes items with a story would be nice. Thanks
Yes to all the novelty brooches!! 😍 You look gorgeous as always. Totally understand why you do videos this way. Makes perfect sense. Still wonderful to watch
Thank you Holly!
Recently stumbled upon you because the last haft year I started collecting brooches and you have such a quality content, also really sparked my cooling interest in vintage stuff and antiques. Keep up the good work! I always learn more about dating and figuring out materials by watching your videos, in my search for quality stuff.
Thank you Moa!
Ooh gorgeous collection Bianca, personal favourite was the first red celluloid one! Xxx
Thank you! i love that one, so perfect for fall :)
We do love a chatty vid .... so yes stories on anything really....
I am such a sucker for clear Lucite brooches. Love the Bakelite too.
I'd love to have more Bakelite someday!
I loved the straw hat video! And this one😃 also random-ish tip, but you can take a lighter and melt the ends of the green ribbon on your handmade brooch- it'll finish the ends and keep them from fraying
Thank you Bonnie!
What a fun collection! It must be difficult to decide which one to wear!
It can be yes!
Hi Bianca
Another great presentation of your collection
Thank you Kaye!
You have a broach that looks like a cutlass.....that's so cool.
Thank you! I have a few sword/dagger ones ;)
Love the yellow eyeshadow with the red lip. And the way you have your hair is also lovely. Gorgeous Bianca!!
Thank you!
Loooove all of those bugs broches! Go figure that one out! I hate bugs! But love bugs on a broches! LOL!!! Christine
I am the same! Thank you Christine!
Really any video you make, I'll watch. My favorites are the first one , I love green. I thought the dagger was great. The bright purple with the little balls cause it's purple. I have a boat load of brooches and pins. I saw the material covered ball with a handle that had all kinds of brooches for a brides bouquet. It was stunning. Some of mine are from the 40s 50s and some are from Wish. Some buttons I really like and so on. Please do a new make up video soon. Love the yellow and red lip. With you hair curled like that reminds me of Liz Taylor.
Thank you! I don't do make up videos on this channel anymore as they tended to do really poorly, but I made a separate beauty channel for playing with make up if you would like to check it out! ua-cam.com/channels/wK_ScwZ-d8mATSphy1WqwA.html :)
@@TheClosetHistorian oh yes I know. I'm waiting for new ideas and tips on your make up channel. I not new brushes so I'd be ready. I'm not for bold looks cause I'm old and pink. Lol but I can tone down the colors for me. I just love women who are beautiful and really know how to wear great looks.
I do love me some novelty brooches!
Always enjoy a lookie loo into other collectors closets. One of these days I'm going to have to do my own, perhaps after my giant accessories purge.
I know I'm late, but I'd love an "items with a story". I'll search in case it's been done 🤞🏻. I can't imagine having your full collection of brooches and having to choose only one to wear!
I loved your straw hat video and all of them! It’s probably not your regular fans that didn’t watch! Bc I’m guessing that we all watch each of them!
Aw thank you!
I love all of your collection videos!
Thank you Elizabeth!
oh my godddd I love all the bug ones so much!!
Thank you Olivia! I do too obviously, the only acceptable bug is a jeweled bug in my opinion :)
The lucite dagger and the silver mouse are great. Recently saw some amber and jet wasp brooches/ jewellery sets, very you! The pink leaves would look great on a black dress x
Thank you Mopsa!
TheClosetHistorian love your videos. Xx
Yes, I'm rather obsessed with brooches! I found your channel because of your gold and silver jewellery collections. I second a video about the stories behind some of your pieces.
I got a few of my grandmas brooches. A few are quite Celtic. I use for plaid outfits
I’m a brooch girl, so I really appreciated this - thanks!! 👏👏👏👌❤️❤️
I had a shell brooch I bought in Fiji, on a flight refuelling stopover.on honeymoon. Sadly I wore it, and heard a crunch, it had fallen off and was in pieces, irreparable.
Rocking the eyeshadow, I had a lot of lovely colours like that when I was younger. I did rainbow stripes.
great!!!! love your make up and love your collection special all plastic pin
Thank you!
I’m in love with that deer brooch 😍
Fabulous collection.
Thank you Deborah!
Good eye..... wonderful collection.....
Thank you Margaret!
Can you do a video on caring for costume jewelry? I unfortunately have messed up some of mine so I know at least I need that lesson. Maybe others do as well.
Hmm I suppose this may be bad but I don't think I really care for mine exactly, I don't clean anything at least, or do anything to them really! I simply store things in some velvet lined trays from Michaels craft store when not in use.
You have a beautiful collection!!!!
Thank you Denise!
So beautiful and I have never seen any of these despite being a reseller. Subscribed today.
Thank you Andi!
your collection is incredible!
Thank you!
The animal and insect brooches give me life 😍
I do love me an insect brooch! :)
Fantastic collection!
Thank you!
You always have amazing eyeshadow!
Thank you! I love playing with eye makeup :)
I love the little broch that had the little flags on them, one was Sweden, where im from 😊
Yep, it's confirmed - the bugs are always my favourite :D Great collection!
Thank you Olga!
Great collection! The bugs/insects are my favs! I couldn't stop looking at your eyes, that shadow looks amazing! Wish those colors would pop on my skin tone like it does on yours (or maybe I need some lessons 😊).
Thank you Shonda! The eye shadows I'm wearing here are from the Colourpop Uh Huh Honey palette, and since it has been out for a little while now there are quite a few tutorials here on youtube showing how the shadows perform on different skin tones, it looks brightest over an eye shadow base for sure!
@@TheClosetHistorian Thanks, going to check them out!
This did make me look up the Etsy sellers specially for vintage with goth style brooches. I have lots of bugs :) I will check out how you store your jewellery video too. Great eye makeup 👍🏻
Thank you! I am almost afraid to do searches like that because I fear I would fall in love with too much!
