This coming Thursday, December 16th, would have been Wendy Buckner’s birthday. Unfortunately, her life was tragically cut short on June 19th by a heart attack. She left her last comment here on June 18th. Although we never met face-to-face, I considered Wendy a true friend. She openly shared with me what she had: opinion, encouragement, expertise, and her stunning photographs.
Wendy’s signature accessory was the brooch; she wore them regularly on her blazers. Won’t you join me in celebrating Wendy’s life of grace and style this December 16th by the simple wearing of a beautiful brooch on your blazer or coat?
What a great idea! I think of her often. Unfortunately my grandmother’s old brooches were stolen…but I think I have one somewhere. Will go hunt.
Thank you for reminding me it will be her birthday!
I won’t be wearing a brooch, but I will remember Wendy in many other ways. She was a wonderfully beautiful person.
I just now learned this news… how incredibly sad I am! I had the pleasure of meeting Wendy once when I visited Ottawa. She was a lovely, sweet, kind person, and a great internet friend too. I don’t have a brooch, but I will make one out of paper to remember her. Thank you Rebecca for sending me a note.
This Christmas won’t be the same without Wendy’s World to look for in the mail. I’ll be wearing a brooch for sure; thanks for suggesting it!
This is beautiful. I will definitely wear a brooch this Thursday in memory of Wendy, a beautiful person in every way!
Oh how sad…I didn’t realize… I will certainly try to remember to wear a brooch in her honor. I do love a pretty brooch!
This is so very sad. She was always most super fantastic and kind, and her absence will be keenly felt. You may be certain that the Manolo will wear the suitably elaborate tie pin in her honor.
