Badge collections - monthly theme for July!

avatar
(Edited)

Last night I got a badge, a special one that you can only get from @hivebuzz. A badge that is happy, sparkling and sweet, with a number on a cake... do you know what kind of a gift it is?

The one that congratulates you on your Hive Birthday. 😀

In my case, it shows the number five.

I should have learned over the years that this event should be celebrated with a special post on that day - your Hive birthday - and that you should invite your Hive friends to a virtual party, but yesterday was a very long and difficult day for us. We got home around 10 p.m. and felt very tired and exhausted. I also had a headache, which has intensified today. However, this badge thingy can't wait another day... today is the first of the month, and that means... a new theme for the Hive Collectors community! 😃

I think my fifth Hive anniversary badge gave me the idea for the following topic:

Badge collections!

My collection is not too large compared to those who collect badges; they can achieve a very large number of these items. If a badge is rare or special, it can have great value too among collectors.

When we were young (teenagers), it was common to collect badges and wear them on our clothes or backpacks, but from those times, I have none left. I have moved a few times, and I guess I didn't remember to keep them.

My current collection is a mix of badges and brooches, but there is a difference between the two. Badges can show our beliefs, or musical taste, representing our favourite band for example, and also express a thought or send a message. The brooches are just a decorative detail, a piece of jewellery on our clothes. They can give an elegant touch to our outfit.

I am very proud of this little Hive badge in my collection! 😇 The Cripto Murcia is a badge my husband got at one crypto event held in the city of Murcia. Liketu is actually not a badge but a PopSocket that you can attach to the back of your phone, but I have found it in the same drawer, so it comes here haha. It was also an item my husband brought from one Hive Meetup. Telas Buenas is a shop that sells fabrics. My son got it when he bought a piece of fabric there.

Now the brooches... Each of them was a gift from someone, usually from students - that is why almost all of them are music-related brooches. Just the big, blue one is not a musical sign, but a butterfly. I hope you can see his eyes and antennas.

Here, the badges and brooches are all displayed together on one curtain, because it was too much to put them all on one shirt! 😂

However, one was missing from the collection. A few minutes after I took these photos, I asked my son if he had any badges... Of course he has!! 😱 ... and I forgot about it.

That is why the cute (and probably annoying for many hahaha) Nyan Cat is coming in a separate photo!

I hope you like the new monthly theme and have a few badges...? I would be glad to see them! 😇

Feliz aniversario, mipiano. ☺️🤗 Los temas siempre son muy buenos. Y me encantan todos los badges y broches musicales que tienes.

Elijo como mis preferidos el pequeño piano, el violín y el de Nyan Cat, que ahora mismo ya lo vi en YouTube aquí sentada en un parque. Y también me gusta la cortina 😅.

Muchas gracias 😇
En unos meses tú también cumples un año más en Hive, entonces feliz aniversario in advance. Gracias, la cortina también es larga, como las blancas que puse en el salón. El pequeño piano - claro que es el más chulo ;D 🎹

Tú tienes colección de badges? Son chapas en español, verdad, o tienen otro nombre?

😯🤭 ¡pero muchacha, ya me estás felicitando in advance! Qué cómica.
Sí jaja... largo es el camino que tengo que recorrer para ponerme al día, de algún modo, con todos los temas aquí, aunque yo no sea coleccionista de casi nada. No puedo prometer, pero haré todo lo posible por llegar con mis colecciones inexistentes 😅🤭😉.

This month's topic is interesting, but I have a question: can I just share my hivebuzz badges?

Hello @mipiano, I will be dedicating time to this second quarter on Friday, and I hope that by Monday my manager will have everything he needs.
I have my first client, which is rare... And I guess that since today is Wednesday, you will be taking us on a trip.

sobre el libro, date prisa, quizás me adelante 🤣

Have a great day 😃👋

Ese libro puede tener dos autores jajaja, lo publicamos juntos 👌
O juntos con otros 3.3 millones que tienen la misma diversión 😂

Good luck with the first client, and I will try to make a walking post, yes 😋

Have a great day 😃👋

The same to you :)

Happy fifth birthday! I used to have some cool badges plus there were the ones you’d get on birthday cards as a kid. I used to go to computer fairs, as they were called at one point and would come away with badges from my favourite games companies etc.

Thank you 😇

That must have been cool to get badges on birthday cards. It was not a tradition at my place... as teenagers, we used to buy badges with musicians 😁

I can remember at school that many of the heavy metal kids had iron maiden badges and that kind of thing. Maybe birthday badges are a UK thing? They were occasionally massive!

Maybe birthday badges are a UK thing?

I just searched for the info. It says that it is indeed a British tradition. :)

I've got a bit of a badge collection. Some are from Hive events from various projects. I also have some old ones from motorbike rallies I went to. Maybe I need to do a post :)

Wow!

Your collection deserves a whole separate post, definitely! Yes, I see the ones from the old blockchain, but the small Hive logo badge too, the same we also have 😉

Thank you, @steevc! 🙌
