Dorothy Howard...

Today has been a good day.
I set off with OOB (other Oooh Betty) on our adventure, as planned.
I returned home with quite a bounty. Very good for the soul.

As I have mentioned on previous blog posts, I love to come across a vintage sewing box, and I love it even more if it still has all its contents.
I don't care how tangled it all is.
I don't even care if I prick my fingers on a few randomly discarded pins.

Todays finds.




















Cup of tea, a tangle of haberdashery and some kitsch tins.....heaven :)

Tonight I will be travelling in to town to meet a fellow crafter for some crafty time.
I will be back tomorrow to tell you all about it and hopefully show you what I made.
I am quite excited. 

Thanks for reading. x

  2. Ooh how fabulous, Emma! I wonder who Dorothy Howard was? I found a large Tupperware box with compartments, absolutely full of sewing things, some of which are the same as yours above, I love finds like these. Love the basket on legs, that's unusual!

    Love Claire xx
