in my backyard

I can’t help but fall in love with In My Backyard’s brooches and pins every time I see them! Made idyllically in a lovely old cottage in New Zealand, each features birds and plants handpainted onto cream fabric, which is then sewn onto a felt and fleece backing. I really like the way the edges of the fabric are deliberately left frayed; it’s wonderfully handmade, yet obviously of high quality too.

In addition to brooches, you can also find cute bird and bunny patches, which are embroidered with black thread on natural colored denim. I also like her Sweet Deer keyring, which is hand-stitched with white thread onto contrasting faux-suede fabric and finished with tufts of felt for the eyes and nose. In My Backyard is just overflowing with cuteable things; why don’t you pay her a visit today?

Birds really can cheer up your day! They sometimes make it seem like spring on a fall-day!
I like these stunning pins.
