I have shelves on 2 sides for pictures and quilting related nick nacks. I have an older pincushion a string of wooden spools and I made a small shadow box with spools an old package of needles, and button hole scissors I use a larger letter "S" as part of the background and used a small vintage fabric for the background and front sides of the shadow box. I finished off the outside with 3 small fabric flowers that I dipped in decoupage to stiffen them. It gives a nice finish for the smaller vintage items.. The rest of my sewing room is full of other items so that limits the number of vintage items I can display. I wish I have a place to display one of my feather weights. Your iron is a great Idea.
