I also have some thread on wooden spools along with old buttons still on cards, hand sewing needles still in original packages, Thread samples on a card, etc. I am planning to make a shadow box to display these items. Actuall found that Michaels had shadow boxes on 50% off sale this week and purchased one. At least I've gotten that far. By the way another thing that will go in the shadow box is a 1924 Singer Sewing Book.
