Aren't those great finds fun? I love them; but I have also returned to the goodwill the things I can not use when it comes in boxes of miscellaneous - unless it is beyond using; then it is pitched... but they might as well make a few more cents on what I can not use... they never charge much for these kinds of finds...

Found two boxes very similar to these (although at seperate yard sales) for $5 each. They are always stocked with a treasury of vintage sewing items. The bonus is that my husband always finds a little something or two in there for himself...the odd screwdriver, fishing lure, matchbox car, etc.......

What I love are the sewing boxes! I have been looking for ones like that. Can't even find them on eBay. These days, if you buy a sewing "box" it's usually a basket covered in fabric, with no inserts, or inserts too small to use for what I'd like to use them for.
Those old plastic boxes have a space for scissors, thread, bobbins, etc.
I had one that was kind of like that, hubby put it in our moving sale and my neighbor bought it for $5.00 including the pinking shears, crochet hooks, etc.
I tried to tell her it wasn't supposed to be out there, she just laughed and said thanks for the great deal! lol!
