I can help with a few of these but a couple stump me as well and this is my native language! :-) A corsage would be an ornament pinned onto a lady's chest or strapped onto a wrist. Usually a flower like an orchid and most often found at graduations and weddings. A coaster goes under a drinking glass to protect the table from the moisture on the bottom of the glass. Here I assume you would insert the lace into a clear plastic holder. An Alice Band is a band that holds a girl's hair back off her face, often elastic it wraps around the head from the forehead to the base of your neck. If you have seen an illustration of Alice in Wonderland that is where the name comes from (a very British term). I know what a mobile is but I am at a loss of how to describe it except that you see them over baby's cribs dangling objects over their heads. Wind chimes are also a form of mobile. I hope this helps a little Weronika, I think your grasp of English is excellent, far better than my grasp of French which is one of our official languages.
