I don’t necessarily agree with what the pins represent on this nice lady’s bag but I spotted her on the street and was drawn to her self-representation and expression. Pins are the bumper stickers of our accessories. Patches and pins take me back to middle school. I have a new desire to find some that say “this is me” and plaster them on an old canvas backpack, messenger bag, and/or tote and rock it.

Get some patches and pins here and REPRESENT.

As I said, all this pin talk brings me back to middle school, ie Hot Topic. The store carries some classic pins, like the one below:

An Etsy find always makes me feel special. One of a kind pieces, made by aspiring creatives! I also love the vintage pieces…

Elmpixie, I love these pins!!

Dadadreams gets it right with comic book conversation pins.

How ever you choose to represent, pin it, say it, and make old accessories come to life.
