Show & Tell Friday--A Favorite Sewing Cupboard Corner

It's Show & Tell Friday! Don't forget to stop by Kelli our hostess' blog and visit the other Show & Tells.

Today I'm sharing a little corner in my sewing hutch. The jar is from a swap a few years back filled with vintage repro fabrics and some vintage rick rack a little necklace slide made by another friend from another swap, then there are 2 little doll heads that came from Italy that will one day be part of an altered art project. The little yellow tea cup is also a one day project--you know how those seem to pile up!--but until then this little tomato pincushion is nesting there. The hand painted box in the background was a thrift store find a year or so ago from when I lived in FL--hated FL, but they did have great thrifting treasures--the box is signed by a Linda Godwin, Linda your darling little box now resides happily in my sewing room. The little thimbles are a steal I found and paid about 50 cents each and they're silver.

Here's a close up of the little thimbles. It's hard to catch their detail, but the one has a little house scene on it. I saw on similar to it on ebay awhile back that sold for $70! It think at 50 cents I got a steal! The little gold looking one has ribbons with something like a ball or pinecone that hangs from the ribbon and the other one is a very heavily embossed floral design. I think they are German, but not positive. If anyone has a clue about them I'd sure be interested in knowing more. Until later....Happy Blogging!
