As a southern girl, transplanted to snowy western Pa, I can't tell you how much I would love wearing a dogwood pin as a reminder of the beautiful south.
Gorgeous pin. Happy New Year!
I absolutely adore this piece! I'd love to win it : )
One word. Classic.
To me, the dogwood is a harbinger of spring, renewal and simple beauty. Mrs. O does all of that in her natural and unique way.
This pin is very elegant! Love the details inside of the flower!

Reminds me of my elegant aunt from a bygone era in Harlem. Beautiful pin.

What a regally, elegant pin. It I were so fortunate to win, I would gift myself for taking such a good care of me and always sharing with others. Thanks to you for mrs-o.com. It is my morning ritual.
Thanks for this opportunity, and thanks for your wonderful website.

A beautiful pin for my sweetie pie. Sherwin
This is gorgeous! Love the site.
Thanks to the FLOTUS I am loving pins. But, the cheap ones that I can afford usually fall apart after a couple of wears. Praying hard for this.
That pin is gorgeous! I've been falling in love with brooches lately and this one is fantastic!
Absolutely gorgeous, thank you for another amazing giveaway! This would certainly cheer up what has been a horrid December for me.
Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2012!
Well hello! =) Keep up the good work Mrs. T. And may all of you have a bright, healthy, and successful 2012.
What a gorgeous pin! An open design, with a sparkle at the center. Thank you, Mrs. T., for a site that's about our impressive First Lady's many jeweled facets as a woman--beautiful, smart, warm, impassioned. Happy holidays, everyone!
Never comment, but I have to say this is gorgeous!
What a gorgeous pin of a gorgeous flower!
Very pretty!
Love this pin - absolutely gorgeous!
