Handmade Gifts - Friend

This pin I made for my dear friend Andrea. I pulled inspiration from a lot of places for this one.

First, I etched the copper plate with a stamp that was the definition of "friend". I attached it to a large safety pin.

The little charms have the following meanings:

The house is from Jubilee. It represents Andrea's passion for home making and being a "home body".

The egg is from Floridity. I adhered the words "good egg" onto it. This is because Andrea is a "good egg" and it is one of her favorite sayings when she is referring to others.

The button represents Andrea's talent as a Mom, Wife, Sister, Daughter and Friend - how she is able to keep everything "buttoned together".
