Back when I was a barista, many of my customers knew me as the brooch girl, because I was always wearing the various pins that I have been collecting. One regular even bought me three brooches he found while out and about running errands (I was his favorite. He was a sweet old man who always made jokes and liked my coffee the best, and he would sit and talk until he was forced to leave by another customer driving up). But somehow, it seems like lately I’ve stopped wearing brooches even though I keep grabbing them at thrift stores. I think a big part of that has to do…
