Look for them at Flea Markets. Sometimes they are in collar boxes:)

Beautiful! I am really excited, I have an old french collar that belonged to my great uncle or my grandpa. Can’t wait to make a corsage with mine. Think I will use an old brooch and maybe some kind of flower. Thanks for the ideas.

Have fun in Florida!!! I know you will. It’s so nice to get away…. We are heading to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend with my kids!!! I am so excited…as I don’t get to spend that much time with them. Anyway…love these collars too. Thanks for sharing.
