flying south or north

I found this great pin in the summer at a garage sale for 25¢! I snatched it up immediatley. It had a broken pin back that was soldered on, and it has taken me until now to snip it off and glue on a new pin back. It has a signature on it -Carole Conklirti (or Conklinti- I can't quite read it )- 1975. The year I was born! It is good for this time of year when my wardrobe consists mainly of four plain, warm turtleneck sweaters, rotated over the weeks- with pants or a skirt of course! I have four exactly the same chunky knit turtlenecks which I have found over the years at goodwill. They are all by gap- a style I was too mean to splurge on when they were new- in pale blue, pale green, black and pink! A little boring, but cozy. I like a nice pin to liven things up. Just in case you were wondering...which you probably weren't...but what are blogs for!

What a great pin and what a steal! 25cents!!!!
I find that I too will find things at goodwill that I have been eyeing the previous year at retail.I bet you got all four for less than the original price of one didn't you?
Since we moved to NJ I have yet to find a decent goodwill.In CT they were great.
Give us a peek of your goodwill sweaters then!!
I am curious as if it is one of the many that I have looked at but been to stingy or should that be,right minded!! to buy,
Take care,
