I think things do happen for a reason, because look how much you treasure this, just like the original owner. I picked up a nice sewing basket a year or so ago, but it's plastic wicker, but inside it was like new, and I've used it faithfully since I got it at the thrift store. I think the best part of your basket are the little snippets of someone else's sewing pleasures. What a great friend Cally is to send along such beautiful gifts ... you're a lucky gal!

I do love discovering haberdashery supplies in old sewing boxes like this, especially vintage ones, they fascinate me. Glad to hear you had some lovely, well deserved presents through the post too!<br />Hope you have a happy week, and keep warm.<br />Helen xxHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518815666953279021.post-50516372432270807202014-01-30T11:42:35.523-08:002014-01-30T11:42:35.523-08:00Hello lovely Dorothy.

We were just discussing this in the school playground today, that people should really have a little crochet cover on their botties. I completely agree that every decision we make, turn we take is part of our fate and clearly you have been so lucky with your recent finds. I absolutely adore the beautiful sewing box, oh my, it really is very special and I can't quite believe how much stuff, and such good condition, was in it. I love the needle book isn't it just great. How lovely of Cally to send you those lovely socks, they sure look like they are going to come in handy right now as it really is cold at the moment. Enjoy wearing them. I look forward to seeing what you do with those frozen cushions, we have big fans of frozen in our house and little Es just loves Elsa. It really is a wonderful movie, or shall I say it really is more of a musical. Enjoy your crafting and take care of yourself. Sending you much love. PS I am going to go on a sewing course at Guthri and Ghani next Friday in case you are free?? xoxoHannapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973402312667870414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518815666953279021.post-5740956770097119152014-01-30T07:51:40.747-08:002014-01-30T07:51:40.747-08:00A lovely newsy post as always, Dorothy - and what ...A lovely newsy post as always, Dorothy - and what a beautiful sewing basket.

I love that look. Great find with the sewing box and it is good that it has gone to a good home where it will be cared for as well as it has been in the past! Your friend sounds lovely and is obviously very creative and talented, if you do persuade her to start her blog you will have to let us know so that we can follow along as I am sure that it would be an interesting read. I hope that February brings you good things and is an improvement on January.

It was meant to be... :-) And just looking at your hot water bottle cover is making my feet feel warm and toasty. <br />I popped over to MollyFelicity after you mentioned them at the weekend. Sarah is indeed great. I ordered some of the "globe" fabric (you need a metre to get the whole world, by the way! lol). Sarah is lovely. I ordered the fabric over the weekend and had it in my sticky paws on Tuesday.... also turns out that Sarah is about 3 miles from me! I thought "small world" which then made me giggle because I'd ordered the globe fabric!!! Yep! I'm finally loosing it.... hahaha. <br />Enjoy the rest of your week.

How could her family part with such treasure?<br />My friend, Sue passed on some of her Auntie's sewing treasure, along with a very elderly fur coat, to me and I treasure them. The cottons have come in very handy and I am left with nice wooden spools when I have used all the cotton.<br />My Granddaughter is only 2 and an half, probably too young for Frozen, but I would love to see it and look forward to the time when we can go together. <br />The first film I saw was "The Wizard of Oz" and had to be rescued from the Cinema screaming in fright. I can still recall that day;0)Callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105595081974160901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518815666953279021.post-53212865089475766432014-01-29T08:15:28.533-08:002014-01-29T08:15:28.533-08:00You were lucky to find that sewing box.
