Thread Spool Board
We went to the yard sales this morning and I couldn't resist a sewing machine shaped spool board for my sewing room-to-be. Then I got home and remembered being told it was better to have your thread in a drawer away from light, dirt, etc. If I don't have any sunshine on my board will my thread last as long?

I think it will be fine to store the thread on it out of the light. Another thing you could do is just make a cover for it. Thread sitting out does have a tendency to get dusty in my house. I would love to know why my house gets so dusty. But, it sounds really cute! Enjoy it.
P.S. you could also just hang it as decoration. Ooo, you could paint it too.

My all cotton threads have been hanging on wooden spool holders for 7+ years. Next to a window, so it gets no light. When I use it I just dust it off. Sewing is very dusty. I do not intend to move it.
