Pretend this brooch is real and valuable, because today it makes quite an entrance in Chapter 4 of the fifth novel in the Neverending Saga. I’ve had this bit of costume jewelry for almost thirty years, but I didn’t see it coming into its own until today. I love it when characters surprise me.
ETA a correction: The brooch demands to appear in a later chapter. I will give in.
It looks like something a dowager would wear.
By the way, I received your card yesterday. Thank you! Lovely photos of you all. Timothy is looking rather dashing and distinguished with his grey hair. Odd to think it was once blue!
Thank you. Glad you got the card. The sun on TJL’s hair. makes it look whiter/grayer than it is, but yes, he’s definitely grayer and still looking handsome.
The brooch COMPLETELY looks like something a dowager would wear. That’s part of what makes it a bit of relief in this chapter.
