That is gorgeous!
Have to be in it to win it... thanks for the giveaway and for your blog as well. I love our First Lady!
I have been wearing pins for years, since my grandmother left me 2 jewelry boxes full of jewelry- some real(pearls, cameos), the rest real costume jewelry from the 30-'s and 40's. This would be a fabulous addition to my collection. Thank you for this site. Although it may seem trivial, this site is a ray of sunshine to us diligent followers.
Love the pin and would wear it proudly. Thanks for the info on the clothes Mrs. O wears - always beautiful

As a working woman the same age as Mrs-O and with children the same ages as Sasha and Malia - - I love seeing how she dresses to be current and classic - It inspires me to do the same! Now if I could only get my daughters out of jeans and hoodies! I would love wearing this pin!
This pin is so elegant, yet it is from an affordable brand that I love. It is a great testament to Mrs-O's being our style Icon - and proving that it can be done without having to spend a fortune. Bravo!

I live in a neighborhood planted with dozens of dogwoods. In fact we have a dogwood festival here each spring! I envision wearing this gorgeous pin as I sip iced tea under one of the many canopies of dogwoods. I would no doubt be the envy of all! And I have the perfect earring to accompany your lovely pin. It's beautiful...and your site is amazing. Thanks for helping us to appreciate a First Lady with real style.
