I was just going to change the title on the old post but couldn't figure out how.

Anyway. I finally got them up and filled.

I thought the pincushions would take away from the back ground but it didn't if anything they almost blend in . I decided not to paint the other shelf since there is other wood in the room . I may change my mind later. :-)

Darling display, wish I could see it in real life.

Just a suggestion...if you worry about earthquakes. My SIL had a piece of glass cut to the size of her display and glued velcro to the corners to attach the glass. She now does not have to worry about breakage and a plus.....no dusting!

Ok do you know something I don't . Va Beach has earthquakes TOO ?? I have already had to deal with snow , Crazy winds, and smoke . lol
But the no dusting part sounds good.

Nice display.

That is a great way to display pincushions. There are so many cute patterns for pincushions available, but I thought I would never make any, for what to do with them. Certainly not use them! But here is an idea that could easily change my mind!

I loved looking at your pin cushions. I collect them too. Cute ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness No. Almost all my pincushions are vintage. From the 30's - 50's I think. The 2 shelves on the 1 walls are animals, a lot of lusterware (glass/porcelain). the others are the silk with the little men around the outside, and a few misc. ones I have been given. I have yet to make a pincushion. :-)

Looks really good. You are the first person that I've seen on here from Va Beach. I've seen a couple from NN. Did you feel our earthquake. I work on the 6th floor of CHKD and felt it. EVMS evacuated thier hospital; Norfolk General
