Vintage Sewing Notions


I do not sew however I am attracted to vintage sewing notions. 
I recently found this vintage ironing board cover at an estate sale for fifty cents
 and you would have thought I had gotten a diamond ring. 
I was excited.

I pick up sewing boxes with wooden spools of thread all the time. 
I do hand sewing and mending of vintage linens for myself and for resale.


Joe bought a set of scissors, made in Germany, at a flea market.
 I have taken these little scissors above for my mending.

I told a man, I was buying wooden spools of thread from, that they would be photographed 
and he did not understand why. 
He must have asked me five or six questions about why I would photograph a spool of thread. 
I kept saying I found them beautiful. 
I find that answer enough.

Linking with darling Debra @ Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday.


joy and peace
