Today’s brooch feels festive and I often wear it for a New Year’s Eve party or some other special celebration. My mother gave it to me and I think it’s Victorian, perhaps crystal or glass. It reminds me of a icicles or a waterfall and since it’s quite large and slightly heavy, I pin it to a coat. An even better place to wear it is on a handbag.
This Corde handbag (circa 1930s), embellished with a Victorian brooch, is just the thing for a New Year’s Eve celebration.
Start the new year off tomorrow with Day Eight of The Twelve Days of Brooches.
Wishing all ODFL readers a happy and safe New Year’s Eve.

Wow it looks great on the handbag!
Thank you, Cynthia. I think handbags are a great place for brooches, particularly large ones.
