little handmades from Italy

Siouxsie and the Banshees & I Dream of Jeannie pins

These custom hand made pins by Aurora Tagliaecuce, could make great gifts for your bridesmaids. The designer, Silvia Personeni, can make any type of pin your little heart desires. The 2 pictured above were made for me as a gift from my ever so sweet husband, aren't they fun?

I recently hosted a baby shower for my friend, Elena. As the tradition goes, the idea of this party is to shower the mommy to be with gifts. But this soon to mommy, added a little twist and decided to include the gift giving for all by making these button ring delights, aren't they sweet? This is a nice party favor idea, whether it's for a wedding, baby shower or gifts for your bridesmaids.
