I know I've been off for a while too. New school year started, seems like the last six weeks have gone non-stop.

It's Homecoming Week...the week where we do extra activities and there are evening events where we invite people who have graduated to come back to visit. We also have theme days. Today's theme is "Dress as Your Dream Career...."

Take a guess what I did....

Brooch marking engagement of Queen Victoria's daughter goes on sale

In 1871, Princess Louise controversially married a commoner (the first time a royal had done so since 1515) - albeit a very wealthy one, the Marquess of Lorne.

www.dailymail.co.uk

It is thought that the brooches were made by a local jeweller: M Rettie & Sons of Aberdeen. for Princess Louise's engagment

The one up for sale is tipped to sell for up to £400, via Fellows, an auction house based in London and Birmingham.

Princess Louise's wedding took place in March 1871 at St George's Chapel, Windsor.
