&lt;div&gt;My mother recently moved house, and while packing and sorting through everything she came across an old hat pin that my grandmother used, it is very plain, silver in colour with a beautiful 'acorn' shape on the end, I absolutely love it. As it is the first in my collection I have it sitting in my pin cushion and it reminds me of both my Mum and Nan when I am sewing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My new design has been inspired by this lovely pin.
