Vintage Button Swap: What I sent...

Incase you missed it, I held a Vintage Button Swap a month or so ago(I can't really remember), and my swap partner finally recieved her parcel, so now it is safe to share what I sent her, with you. I had soo much fun putting the button book together, and my partner and I emailed each other and decided to make it a package swap, with other goodies we thought each other would like. I am sooo excited to recieve mine, and will show you as soon as I do! Until then, here is what I sent the lovely Nadia. You can see her lovely blog post about my parcel here.

First, the vintage buttons I attatched into a very old, falling apart childrens book, written in the 1960's. Nadia loves startionary, so I thought she could cut the pages, and use the cute images!

 

 

I stitched a tea cup and made this button

 

 

 

 

 

Made some Cath Kidston buttons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the rest of the parcel I sent her. All thrifted or handmade by me!

 

 

 

 

Love this 1950's tea tray

 

Nadia collects vintage hair slides

 

Rolls of handmade vintage tape..by me!

 

 

I wrapped everything in pretty vintage fabric, and typed (with my typewriter), on some wallpaper.

 

 

 

 

I was so happy with my parcel I made up, and it was a serious relief when I found out it arrived safely! Have you recieved your buttons yet? I'd love for you to share your blog post link or email me what you sent and recieved. I plan to share it in another post once everyone has gotten their buttons!

 

Ok, well the weather today in melbourne is sunny and mild..time to get outside!

 

See you soon.
