If you’ve read Annie’s Stories, you know in the story she receives a special heart pin. The pin is actually on the cover. It’s a little hard to see, so I’ve pointed it out to you below. If you have a copy of the book, you can see it easily if you know where to look.
I have that pin. It was my inspiration while I wrote the story. I purchased it from an Etsy shop. I told the seller what I was using it for and she actually pre-ordered Annie’s Stories! As a shout-out to her, and because I know many of you would be interested in her wares, here is the link to Mrs. C’s Vintage Boutique.
So, if I have the pin, how did it get on the cover? I actually asked Mrs. C., the Etsy merchant, if she had any more of these. I thought they might make great giveaways. But unfortunately she doesn’t, and she doesn’t know where to get another one. If any of you have seen these anywhere, please let me know. It’s real silver, but probably not from the era of my story. Although it looks like it could have been, don’t you think?
So the pin, as far as I know, is one of a kind. The kind folks at Tyndale agreed to use it on the cover so I sent it to them and when they were done with the cover photo shoot, they mailed it back to me. It’s a special little touch readers won’t know about unless they read my blog or come to one of my appearances where I’ll probably be wearing this pin.
