Let’s face it: sometimes you just need a little bling that struts. Enter this fabulous vintage Pink Trifari Flamingo Brooch, flaunting gold-toned glamour, a body sparkling with Pink Rhinestones, and  a luxurious swoop of red-toned enamel tail feathers. This flashy feathered friend was spotted perched proudly in the booth for Style on Lafayette, a boutique treasure trove based in Suffern, NY, during the fun and fabulous NYC Spring Jewelry, Antique & Object Show at the Metropolitan Pavilion.

I declined to touch them due to Covid, but I did get these nice shots to share with you, before I left them behind and continued on my way. Another cool Pink Thing: Mission Accomplished.
