  1. What a nice collection of SW pins! I don't have any of them, but there are some that I'm wishing I did have! I have really tried to stop collecting, but your blog often makes me think I should start up again! Enabler! Just kidding.

    I have a SW pin from Tokyo DL (generic SW, not an attraction pin) that I will try to remember to photograph and send you.

  2. I just LOVE pin trading .
    There are so much that we can't know everything, I always discover news .
    The one of the queen at the window is very original.I hope I will find it someday by trading, who knows ?

    Last time, at Disneyland Paris, I've got the pin of "Snow White, the Enchanting Musical" .That's where "trading" become magical to me !
