new/old stash

i have just come back from my parents house where my mum decided to go through her old sewing box and offload some of her *junk* (her word) on me

vintage ribbon (the white one my mum bought when she was 15, and one is from the Queen's silver jubilee!), old patches, many buttons...i am in heaven =)

next time i go over i'm going to look through my grandmothers sewing box...

Oooh, new (to you) goodies are always fun--look at that big-bag-o-buttons! :-)

And blonde to brunette, wow!! It's very cute. :-)

Heya--do you mind if I add a link to your blog from mine in the sidebar?

OMGosh, the Queen's Jubilee items are fabulous!!! How cool that your mom saved them!

Can't wait to see what your grandmother's sewing box reveals!

A while back I bought a wicker sewing box that someone had donated to the church rummage sale. I'd put it in my closet (was too busy to look at it right then) and kind of forgot about it!

Reading this reminded me of it -- now I'm going to go check it out more thoroughly. It had belonged to someone's great aunt & looked like it had some vintage things in it. :-)
