  • I received LizzyC Sheep Brooch as a gift and instantly fell in love with it. It is the perfect size! When I originally saw these online I thought that they would be too big for my liking, but it is smaller than I imagined and it fits beautifully on my lapel, scarf and sweater. I always receive compliments when I wear little Patricia. Her fun personality really shines! My husband likes it too and wants to borrow it for St. Patrick’s Day.
