Button Floozies sponsored a button swap called Fall In Love With Buttons and my package arrived from the UK today. The instruction was to alter an Altoid tin and fill it with autumn-themed buttons. My swap partner is Apryl at
Meridian Ariel. She has an
Etsy shop of the same name. She included a sweet handmade strawberry and an Alice In Wonderland-themed pin back. I love the way she pins them on a playing card - what a great idea!
The natural patina on the mint tin she used was perfect just the it was and I am so glad she left it that way. Love! She filled it with buttons in reds, browns, gold and orange tied it shut with coordinating teal rick-rack trim. Those two red ones at the bottom of the picture are hands-down my favorites.
I showed you the tin that I altered and sent to her in
this post. Here is a better look at the buttons I put inside:
I will be linking up with the other swap participants in the
Button Floozies Linky Party so be sure to hop on over and see the rest of the fun!

What a fun package! And you're right about the tin being perfect! I wish I could have joined, but I knew I wouldn't have had time. Heavy sigh!
Oh buttons! So fun that yours came from the UK. I love swaps.
Cool tin and doubly cool buttons. Fun swap!
