A blossom inspired crazy quilters kit

I just love the pink blossoms everywhere this time of year in DC. 

The little blossoms so remind me of confetti... especially when the wind blows and all the little pink pretties blow into my hair .

The subtle pink is so feminine and  there is only one word that comes to mind and that is .. pretty.

 

For a while now, I have been planning on making some kits for crazy quilters and today after having my usual walk, I decided to take some blossoms home with me ( fallen ones I may add) and create something...

 

 

I started off with these little vintage novelty buttons that are a shade of pink ...

 

 

 

and worked my way down to this....

 

 

My crazy quilting blossom kit . 

For a limited time only I will be selling these for $12 ( including postage in the USA) 

For all those who want to order just email me at lulumainz@gmail.com and I will be happy to send one out to you.

The giveaway winner

Now that it is the last day of the month it is time to choose the winner of our first giveaway.

Let me tell you ladies it was not a easy task choosing a winner as you were all wonderful in your comments. I was amazed at how many of you would share the winnings (shows just what a special bunch of crafters there are out there) I laughed at how many of you would love the buttons as if they were your own children and embrace them. So pleased to see that all our wonderful items would  go to good homes where they will be appreciated and loved as much as we love them!

Anyhow in taking into account how hard it was to choose only one person and that it was our first give away I  have decided after choosing the one lucky person who is going to receive the giveaway that you are  all going to get  a little something too ... yup you read right! 

 All of you who left comments for the give away are  going to get something from Accessories Of Old  in the mail -  SO those of you out there  please email me  your  postal address .

And now for the lucky person who is the official winner of our first giveaway ..... well done to :

MAUREEN - this package is on its way to you as soon as you send me your address.. Enjoy

"Oh my goodness I have to be honest,I would fondle them rearrange  them and then fondle them some more. I would be so excited. I would take them to my Crazy Quilt Group and they would ohhhh and ahhh and fondle them also. If you ever want to show someone something really cool like this wou want to show  this group they are so good at ohhing and ahhing and enableing. I would share with this group(it would be hard to actually cut the cards)because they would love everything. Eventually I might put some things on a baby quilt and some of the buttons on a Easter themed penny rug I have been thinking about."
