Gorgeous pin which I would love since it's the state flower of Virginia where I reside.
Thank you, Mrs. T, for bringing beauty and positive messages with your posts. What a treat to follow the activities and fashion of our beautiful First Lady and to read your comments. I appreciate all you do for us.
Gorgeous!
Wow! Beautiful!
What a beautiful pin! Happy holidays to all!
I would be in heaven wearing that pin. Divine! It reminds me of what I call "teacher pins" Teachers in my day always wore the most delightful pins. I'm old enough to remember when female teachers were not allowed to wear pants.
Beautiful : I want it !
Thanks for all the work you are putting in your blog: I love it.
Merry Christmas.
Oh my goodness, it is lovely!
Aww Purple. The color of wisdom, confidence and royalty. In the Color Purple, it is the symbol of God showing off. And who can wear purple without saying look at me! I look good and I know it. The dogwood blossom--its petals not really petals--giving symmetry and evoking the spirituality of the cross. A gorgeous pin simple and yet complex and thought provoking.
Sparkle Sparkle indeed! Wishing every writer of this blog, and every reader as well a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, happy new year! :)
I love Alexis Bittar's things! Thank you for the giveaway, and happy holidays to all.

Mrs. T, thank you for all the work you to on this blog. This is one of my little indulgences each day to check in on what Mrs. Obama is wearing and doing. Have a happy holiday season!
Mrs. T: Wishing you a special Christmas and a New Year filled with happiness! Thank you so much for this website which is my absolute favorite. I check in every day to see the pictures and read the comments. We have become family around our love & admiration for Mrs. O (and her family); no negativity here - nothing but love! This contest is exciting! Of course I hope to win the pin but if not, hey, it will go to another who loves Mrs. O as I do and I'll look for a copy somewhere : ) Love to you all! and thanks for making my days so much more pleasant.
Love this!
Love this pin and see how it's something Mrs. Obama would ROCK! Love the blog and staying up to date with her fashion! Merry Christmas!
Class style never goes out of fashion. As a northern transplanted to the south it would be lovely to have this pin to commerate my move.
I love this pin and would be honored to wear it - in honor of Mrs. O's elegant style.
How beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!
