R.I.P. Ms. Albright

The tagged was a good book. Highlighted her wit, charm, wisdom, and political savvy. Got to see an exhibit of her pins in person. Extensive collection of varying styles and sizes.

wanderinglynn So sad! Sone years ago, I read her memoir. What a fascinating person. 3y

Another pin flag just about full. I‘m loving that #Owlcrate have enamel pins every month instead of those little badges, they look much better on display. Most of these are theirs except for a few from #FairyLoot one from #Faecrate & the Toy Story ones which the hubby bought me. Time to hang this one and start filling the Lord Of The Rings map/flag that came in a box🏳️🏁🏴🧙🏻‍♂️🧝🏼‍♀️

rockpools This is such a neat idea! I‘ve a bunch of pins and badges that have never quite found a home - and I‘d love to see the LOTR map one. 5y

Straightening my #bookshelves and found Read My Pins, which distracted me. I ended up looking at photos from an exhibit instead. Glad I saw it when it was in town. Lovely book and great exhibit.

I bought the flower pin (top left) when visiting the store in a Presidential library. Of course this led me to check out the tagged book telling about Albright's pins. Great reading!

LibrarianRyan I loved this book. 7y

Fascinating behind the scenes stories. Intriguing story behind Madame Albright's pins.

So think if a real person I rocked Madeline Albright. This book is about the various lapel pins she owns and has worn over the course of her career. She says something similar to know me by the pins I wear. I'm not normally into biographies, but this is more coffee table book. #octphotochallenge #reallifeperson
