Madame Vroom-Vroom

Meet Madame Vroom-Vroom.

I didn't find her - she kinda found me this weekend.

I was in a shop doing research and was having a great time chatting with the owner. I told her how much I loved her store, and she gave me this pin because as she put it, she always gives a gift to newcomers. Wowsers.

Or maybe it was because I asked to take pictures and the 20-somethings in there with me just starting snapping away.

No matter. I accepted the pin (and bought some items, natch, will post soon).

Now I love my Madame Vroom-Vroom.

I named her "Madame" because of her headdress, and the Vroom-Vroom part isn't just because she looks so saucy. As you can see the back of this pin is signed. Can't quite make it out but I think it says "Vom, 06" ... not so much of a stretch to go to Vroom is it?

Let's take another look at her.

She appears to be made of recycled pins and baubles.

I sure wish I knew who the designer was. The kind lady who gave me the pin said that a customer recognized the designer from the pin but she couldn't remember.

I wore her on my coat lapel last night, and she sure looked fab.

Have a vroom vroom day - 14 degrees C in Toronto today, yay!!
