Remember back in 1983/84 when friendship pins were the latest fad? You know, beads on a safety pin, sometimes with initials or some other such nonsense. I LOVED the friendship pins. I had many attached to my shoes, and it was fun to make them for friends and trade them.
Last fall, I was doing many, many, many markets. Many. I decided that a way of getting people to stop at my table was to offer something for free. I don't remember how the friendship pin memory landed in my head, but it did. I thought it would be a nice thing anyway, to offer the friendship pins to kids at the markets. Maybe even resurrecting the fad!!
All I had to do was buy safety pins. This was not as easy as it should be. I spent the next several days making hundreds of pins. This is what I did during the World Series, to lessen the stress level. I'm not sure how well that worked.
At the markets, the friendship pins were a hit with kids. Most had no idea what I was talking about lol. I had to instruct many on what to do with them. They did have fun picking out which ones they wanted. So very cute.
So imagine my joy when I discovered these lovely charms! Now we have pretty earrings to commemorate this great fad from the 80s!
Here's the Friendship Earrings!
