1111061993Very nice and special. I love the old stuff and save them when I find them at yard sales
3368What a wonderful find. I have a box of my grandmothers. The best thing I had was my great grandmother's treadle sewing machine with the papers where it was purchased. My mother kept it for me and when she died, my father remarried. My stepmother put it outside and didn't tell us what she had done. The weather ruined it. Now I have room for it as we had a house built and moved from the mobile home, but no sewing machine.
15626I have the exact same one. It had been my Grandmothers and my Mother gave it to me, too. I'm thinking it must be over 100 years old.
8228It's amazing all the gadgets and helpers sewers have now compared to the past. We surely could not fit our modern sewing kits into one this small.
67271This is something that is very special. Love when I find something like that. Arlene
31366what a lovely treasure, especially because it was your grandma's !
740383Now I know - from this box comes your inpiration... :-)

Flowers to All!!

52685It's so much fun to find these treasures. I have a tin of tatting thread, shuttles, and a few handkerchiefs that my grandmother made. And loads of notions such as needle packs for 10 cents or so.

25546What a blast from the past... they are great little reminders of what was used, I agree with Castelyn frame them for your wall then you'll be reminded of your grandmother when they're looked apon...
45917Oh my word. What a find, you should frame it and put it up in your sewing room. Hugs Yvonne xxx
132773What a neat find. The needles are thick and looks like they were for leather or sewing shoes back together like Alma thought. Does that part with the light colored thread slid down into the other part? Got interested and this looks so similar to yours. http://www.collectiblejewels.com/...
89895Treasures are so much fun to find. That is really cool how it holds it all, Thanks
173584What a find.write down the story of these items with Grandmothers and Mothers name and keep it all together. This is a part of your family history and should be shared with the future generations.
67271Carolyn, I am so glad that you 'forgot' about this kit. Otherwise you may not have had it to show to us.
BEAUTIFUL!!

35675Wonderful, wonderful treasures. Compare the 'sewing kit' with what we have today. That first needle looks like your grandma sewed her own hessian aprons for washing day, hessian slippers, repairs to carpets, maybe her own hessian floor mats and the list goes on. What tales that thimble could tell!

59617I love buried treasure.......Very neat find in the treasure box of boxes of the sewing pirate.
86901How wonderful to find a treasure such as this. I wonder what the thread was used for as it is so thick. Thank you Carolyn for this post. Hugs Sarah.
