MADELEINE ALBRIGHT BRINGS ELEGANCE WITH HISTORICAL BLING TO CHARLOTTE 'READ MY PINS'

Mr and Mrs Perry with Ms. Albright


What a delight spending time with our former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at the Mint Museum this past week.  I was not expecting her to be so lovingly beautiful and the ultimate in poise and grace.

She wore this pin at all the US events


She literally glided through the exhibit of her most precious pins like a queen.

Love this one. I'm sure there is a story behind it.


The pins were stunning and some were emotionally charged with her stories of how she received them in all parts of the world surrounded by events and historical figures throughout her amazing life and career.

Black Widow pin I'm sure she wore this when needed


Mr. Perry of Perry's Fine Antiques and Jewelry in Southpark presented Secretary Albright with a beautiful pin that she wore for the occasion, in the shape of the City of Charlotte's crown encrusted with diamonds to add to her collection.

She had intriguing stories to tell about her life of American history and foreign policy always with wit and a wonderful sense of humor. She is petite in stature and larger than life.

This is her favorite. Her daughter made her this when she was five.


There are more than 200 pieces on display at the Mint Museum June 30th - September 23 2012 for more information visit the Mint Museum website.

This is her nautical collection
