The cabinet to the left has old sewing items we have picked up here and there, as well as, some that was from my family and my husbands family. The giant scissors bought at hobby lobby and painted, the giant needle my dh made out of a dowel rod on his wood lathe. The big needle were knitting needles I painted. the BIG buttons we made on my DH wood lathe. The dress was my mothers dress from a sweet heart banquet she and my father went to in 1962. Just wanted to share.
I love it all but that dress your Mom wore is awesome!! :)
Thank you. Mom as kept it boxed up all these yrs, I told her when something happened to her and Daddy I would like to have it if my brother and sister didn't care. Well, she talked to them and they said they didn't care. So they gave it to me. (The family keeper of things) My husband picked up the former coat rack from a neighbors trash ( he turns wood and loves to reperpose things) anyway, we found the dress form at a thrift store one day and it fit perfect.
