Fairies, Flounces, and Falling Love with Buttons!

Part of what is helping me out of my sadness and rut these last couple of weeks is doing a little creating for my friends.  LuLu Kellog and I just finished an impromptu swap of buttons; she sent me this pretty package of some of her favorites, because she's sweet like that:
...beautifully wrapped, of course, because it is LuLu!
I then got to work picking out buttons and decorating a pretty little box to send to her!
I could do this all day!
Are you in the mood for a button swap?
Then be sure to see the end of this post for some good news!
This package went off to Karla Nathan:
Inside was a large, old medallion of a woodland fairy that I thought she'd love.
Everytime I see fairies or nympths -- I think of Karla!
Mina inspired me to make a journal, just for her...
which was just the push I needed as I've since started on more for the shop!
It was long overdue, too.
Flounces!
Can you guess what this pink, frothy pile of lovely is?
That's right -- I found another crinoline skirt at the thrift store!
I love it so much!
Button Floozies Swap

How on earth were you lucky enough to find two crinolines in a thrift store?! I want one but refuse to pay the prices I see...hopefully I'll find one like you did! Definately want to try the button swap...but hope my buttons are cool enough....

Your works are really, really great!! I come from Mina's blog, perhaps if you need some vintage image in your wonderful pieces, you can visit my blog, you can find a lot of vintage pictures there, and I will be very glad to see you :-)

Hugs from Spain! In my language: Besos desde España! :-)
I do love that little fairy, thanks again! I think I'll glue it to a little cabinet in the new kitchen
