I was given this pin when I was young (I think the writing on the back says 1976). It is handpainted on an egg shell. I loved this pin when it was given to me (who wouldn't love a dog cameo!), but wore it to school one day in the winter and lost it outside at recess. Everyone looked for it, but no one found it. I was devastated, and assumed it was gone forever. Happily though, when spring came, a classmate found it frozen into some ice on the playground. We were able to dig it up with only minimal damage. Thus this pin has a lot of meaning for me.
