Buying a sewing box
We had a nice long summer, and one of the things I finally had time to do was go to the Salvation Army store to look around. I found this sewing box with the former owners things in it. I was so thrilled I could hardly wait to check it out.
When I opened it, it was in a terrible mess. I cleaned it up and sorted through it. I found a wedding ring, old lottery tickets from 1968, an old bill from the 60s, bus ticket for the blue omnibusses from maybe 40s, death announcement from 1962, bank receipt from 06, a song made for her 26th birthday, a work list from the county 05, betting tickets from 1960 with names like “Nessegutten”.., movie ticket (old, undated) and lots of other things. The patterns in the previous post are of course from the sewing box.
I want to make a display of some of the things in there - most can’t be used for anything - but is very beautiful.
And remember - if you want one of those patterns, let me know.
