Pins are great. They can be affordable. They can dress up or dress down whatever you are wearing. They can be big and showy or small and understated. There are pins for hats, for scarves, for lapels, there is no limit to what a pin can say for you and where you want to say it. A pin can be a conversation piece or just a shared memento that only you and another person might understand. The point is, wear your pins! Whether you buy them to collect for yourself or sell, there is a pin for any and all occasions.
I know, a lot of people remember the flair scenes from the movie Office Space, but it goes back so much further than that. Pins have been used to decorate for ages. Pins cross gender and social economic lines. The images change, but the concept stays the same-show a piece of your personality.
Next time you are at a garage or estate sale, take a second look. More people than you might think have a pin collection. Some like quirky and out of the ordinary. Some buyers are completists searching a long time for the one missing pin for their collection that eludes them.
