Another of my favourite pins (and no, they're not ALL favourites). The Reedbox is a modern representation of, well, a box of reeds, which is apparently an Asian gift given to bring good luck.The silver 'cage' represents a wooden or lacquer box, and holds loose rods of gold representing reeds, which would normally be bamboo, or a similar material. I pick this pin when I'm unsure about the day, or when I want to wear something more decorative and elegant than the Flying Pig.
The pin is a limited edition made and signed by Peggy R Cochran, who worked in Thomas Mann's studio before going it alone. I like a lot of her work, although most of her pins tend to be too big for a T-shirt to support. Happily, the Reedbox is a perfect size, at just under 2" tall by 1" wide. You'll be seeing this one again...

Ant- Are you more aware of your 'badges' in the morning now that you know you will be blogging about it to millions?? ~S
I'm not aware of anything much in the mornings, to be honest! But how does it feel to be the inspiration behind a blog? Surely it's put a spring in your step?!
