And then I noticed all these antique needles. I've got some just like this! They belonged to my grandmother, who was born about 1896 I think....gosh! I've got some of her cards of snaps too...they are probably as old as I am - late 50's!<BR/><BR/>I really love your little dog. So clever!<BR/><BR/>SaraSara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-85152621511410787212008-03-07T05:08:00.000-08:002008-03-07T05:08:00.000-08:00I would have chosen these too, I don't sew (well I...I would have chosen these too, I don't sew (well I only sew on buttons), but I love the nostalgia of this old packaging and the green packaging is definitely from the deco period. Really nice vintage collectibles. xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-79834019898310261532008-03-06T07:34:00.000-08:002008-03-06T07:34:00.000-08:00Heidi-No, I don't display the sewing box, but I st...Heidi-<BR/>No, I don't display the sewing box, but I still use it. I've always sewn. My mom taught me to sew on an old Singer treadle machine. I loved that old thing. It had the neatest attachments. The buttonholer was the bomb! It had these little cams for the different sizes and styles, and made perfect buttonholes. I wish I still had it.<BR/>Hugs, LauraAmongst The Oakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557263218213720034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-44362869413032103592008-03-06T01:50:00.000-08:002008-03-06T01:50:00.000-08:00I just happened onto your blog.

Do you keep the sewing box out on display? It is just so pretty. <BR/><BR/>~~ Heidi ~~Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306674979528881706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-80003367673487597752008-03-05T12:06:00.000-08:002008-03-05T12:06:00.000-08:00Hi Laura,What a charming glance at days past.
