Thank you so much for sharing it with us...just beautiful. The button drawer was great, but the thing that really got me was the scissors. So worn, and beautiful, it made me wonder just how many things were made with them, and the hundreds of times your grandmother's loving hands held them.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. This is such a treasure and I would feel happy just looking at it. It looks like memories in a box. :lol: :lol:
|
a box to treasure for a very long time. I hope your family loves it too
|
What a wonderful treasure!
|
Lovely. I am glad to see you left it like it was. What a treasure.
|
I have looked for one of these. My MNL has one and I would love to add it to my collection. Awesome!
|
What a treasure! Loved seeing all the opened drawers. You are one lucky lady to have this.
|
Precious memories!!
|
That is really something to treasure. You have a bit of your grandparents and vintage sewing material. I have several old items that I purchased at various antique shows and stores, but not the emotional attachment that you have. Plus, I spent a small fortune buying these things. I love them though
|
What a wonderful gift you have been blessed with-sewing items to treasure and your memories too!
|
What a treasure you have!

I have a table of about the same vintage. The top lifts back and it has spaces with the old sock thread. and a gold painted insert with dished out spots for snaps, buttons, , etc. Then two drawers with lots of goodies. My Mom had it and when she passed away I got it. I have added some items but not taken any thing out of it at all. The finish is crackled and I have been trying to decide what to do about it. It has inlaid veneer on it. Not sure how thick it is. Jan

How wonderful you are able to treasure this fabulous piece of history. Cherrish it, use it and think of her always.
|
What a wonderful piece of furniture and tools.

That is a treasure! The box is gorgeous and the antique stuff in it is precious!

What a treasure, lucky you! Think of all the memoires you have.
|
What a nice sewing box. As we complain about our messy sewing rooms, think about how much a woman accomplished with so little just a couple of generations ago. And she KNEW where her scissors were every time she needed them!
|
What a chest of treasures with so many golden memories.
|
1900's sounds like that was sooo long ago. Yikes! lovely spool box though.
|
It looks like something your grandfather might have made just for her. Do you know the history of it? My granddaddy madd all sorts of things like that for my grandmother including a drop-leaf sewing table for her to make my father's layette on. His sister inherited it and then it came to me as the only one interested in sewing - I made my 2 sons' layettes and some quilts using it - then one of the sons 'adopted' it - I actually hope to get it back at some point when I have a bigger place - nobody's using it for sewing or quilting, and that is it's destiny!!

What a treasure you have! Thanks so much for sharing it.

Cherish your moms treasures.

You might want to take out the scissors and place a little sewing machine oil on the screws and such to help slow down on the rusting going on. Don't want it to spread.

What a treasure

I bought a small sewing table at an auction several years ago. It came from England and it was just like someone had left it with thread, needles,pins,emery,buttons and other odds and ends in it. A pincushion in the lid. I couldn't discard anything. I use it to set my VCR on. My daughter has put it on her list of things she wants.
|
What an heirloom. Lovely.
