*****color swap*****

i joined up for Jessica's {kid's napping,i'm scrappin'} color swap
&
my swap parcel arrived today!
my partner in the swap was the lovely Juanita Tortilla
she sent it out soooo fast
{i hang my head in shame as mine is neither sent *blush* nor finished}
i've got to send it out on friday - eekk!
i seem to have lost my mojo this week but today i cracked on and got crafting,
spurred on by the arrival of this lovely parcel

look at all my lovely red & turquoise coloured things!

a pretty beaded dingly-dangly

a very cute and bang on trend vintage bow embellished beaded necklace
resting on a crocheted basket

a super "sproingy" crochet cupcake with seed bead sprinkles

Mmmm . . . . . . . swiss chocolate and gummy pigs!
even the candy is colour co-ordinated and had little notes and ribbons attached!

buttons - yeah!

thank-you so much Juanita - you are a great swap partner!

{i've been eating gummy piggies all evening - somebody stop me i feel sick!!
but to be fair i can't start the chocolate till i've eaten up all the piggies!!!
oink - oink - oink}

"buckle porn"

it's been a long time since i posted some button porn
but you are in for a real treat today!
strictly speaking it is buckle porn
but there are a few buttons thrown in to the mix too
enjoy!

so i found someone selling a load of fantastic mother-of-pearl buckles
i had no idea how big these were going to be and they had been listed
as buttons so i thought they maybe teeny but they are a good size. . . .

i love the cards these are on
they are so pretty and the buckles
are really shiny and vibrant and also in two sizes
i shall feel bad removing these from their packaging but i will need to sell some of these!

pretty and shiny mmmm.....

really cute little buckles

love the texture

some buttons for you die hard button fans!!

can brown be pretty?
oh yes it can if it is mother-of-pearl!

tawny

gorgeousness

pearly lips!

a big pile of beautiful

irridescent - shiny- beauty

oh my just look at these FANTASTIC 20's/30's childrens novelty buttons
there is a mix of glass and plastic
owls - terriers - pelicans - swallows
i actually bought these for the swallows thinking they would be the same as the bakelite ones that i used on the button christmas tree - they weren't but they are really sweet anyway!

*******
hope you enjoyed your vintage haberdashery porn fix!!
stayed tuned for more!!

some more button brooches

i'm still making these felt brooches!

another russian doll button with a felt rossette

and a layered one with the most adorable deer button!

i think i may need some more of incywincy's fabulous fabric covered buttons!

"frankie and flora"

"flora"

"frankie"

"a handfull of owls"

my newest pair of owl brooches
they are listed in my shops
i'm not sure how many more i will make now
i get bored if i make too many of the same thing
which is why they are all slightly different!

flora reminds me of one of my favourite books as a child,
it was called "the owl service" and was very weird!

"OwL sWaP pReSeNtS"

oooooohh look at all my stuff!

a gorgeous smell came from within the jiffy bag
it was coming from this fantastic crochet owly eyemask!

a very fancy box of chocolates

ooooohhh!!

this little box of chocolates came in some very unusual flavours!

some sweet vintage buttons & beads

and this cute pair of owl brooches
my daughter has her eye on one of these
and as there are two i think i will share!
