Ladies, have I got a guy for you. He's cute. He doesn't talk much. Well, at all. So I guarantee him to be a great listener. He moves around quite a bit so he is always up for a new adventure. He is sought after by women all over the world. He comes prepared with an umbrella for a rainy day. He's a simple sort...he can probably fit most of his belongings in a simple knapsack...but ladies...in this day...getting back to basics is a good thing. Who needs a complicated man? His name? Hobo.
And guess what? He was designed in the 1960's by "HAR"; until recently, a very mysterious company best known for their mystical genie and fantastical dragon parures that retail, even in this economy, for thousands of dollars. I recently saw mention that the "HAR" company was registered in the fifties as "HARGO". Hmmm....while that isn't a big mystery solver, it is one more piece of information.
Our highly desirable friend Hobo apparently has some friends of various descript. "HAR" apparently put out a line of Hobo brooches. I was able to find 2 other designs while researching this one and they are pretty cute. Who knows how many other designs were made? Wouldn't it be neat to start a collection? You could collect Hobo's and really have some conversation starters. "Oh hello, so and so. Would you like to see my Hobo collection?" This particular Hobo brooch can be purchased by
emailing me,
online at my Ruby Lane store or locally at Antiques Emporium at Cameron Village in Raleigh. Hope everyone is having a good week! Happy jewelling!

Hello, Nice to meet you! You have also such an interesting blog! I just scrolled through it and I like all the vintage goodies you are collecting, but the nicest I encountered here is that cute little guy Cameron. You must be soooo busy. I think writing a post once a week is just enough if you have a baby, no matter what other people do or say. I remember well having my first baby and feeling that I had lost control over my entire life. I had no time for anything. Blogging just didn't exist back then, one thing that I didn't have to feel guilty about!
Hi friend-
Your recent posts are so great... You're really keeping up with your blogging! The Hobo pin was a good spotlight item. Very funny- And my Dad ACTUALLY has a hobo collection:) Even a bank!
