Victorian Maggie pin
So I spotted this one on ebay and it was unlike anything I'd seen before or anything I've already got in my mostly Victorian Maggie pin collection. Can't wait to get it in the mail!

Maggie locket
Thanks so much to Karen, who pointed me to the ebay auction for this sweet little Victorian locket. I managed to win it and I'm really happy I did! One more piece of antique/vintage "Maggie" jewelry for the collection!

Maggie pin
I got lucky on ebay and found another Victorian Maggie pin for my collection. I've seen a couple of ones similar to this with the thistle design go by for more than I wanted to pay, but I was psyched about getting this one!

Another Victorian Name pin!
Ever since my lovely friends gave me a Victorian "Maggie" name pin, I've been intrigued by them. From the ebay auctions I've seen, the history on them seems to be that they were popular starting in the 1880s.
I just now won another Maggie one that I'm really excited about. (It almost but doesn't quite make up for a different one I lost on ebay that I really liked!)
I was doing a search and I came across a Sarah pin on this site - they also found a photo of a woman wearing a different Sarah pin, which I thought was fabulous because this is the first pic I've seen of someone wearing one of these! And it's interesting to see how it is being worn:

(Actually this page has lots of fascinating jewelry and photos on it.)

Antique jewelry - "Maggie" pin
I thought that in addition to posting my own costumes here, this might be a good place to post pics of some of my collection of vintage jewelry, vintage costumes/clothes, and maybe the few pieces from movies.
First up is this name pin that J-9 and Magpie were so sweet to get me for my birthday. I've since kept a watch out for Victorian name pins (they seemed to have been popular in the 1880s and 90s) and never seen another Maggie one, though it is fun to see what names were popular back then. And yes, my real name is Maggie, it's not just an online nickname. :-)
Anyway, the pin is so lovely and I feel lucky to have it!
