When I opened this little package at Christmas time I was beaming, a brooch from CatRabbit! I carefully pinned it on my dress and wore it out to dinner, and left it on the dress as I sometimes do. . .A day later I was darting around the house sweeping up piles for the wash and bundled the dress into the washing machine without a thought. It was not until I pulled out the wet washing that I thought 'uh-oh'. . . But luckily my felt feathered brooch was fine! Thank you Cat Rabbit for making a brooch that survives the wash, rinse and spin cycle!
