Haberdashery Box

Hello my dear friends,

I found three J. & P. Coats machine cotton boxes over a year ago in an antique store and they just had to be mine ... to put them into a drawer and that's where they were until a few days ago.  I finally decided to sit down and use them after finding my original idea I had in my little book and not only do they look nice but there are also useful now!

My little boxes ...

 

... each box is slightly smaller/larger than the others but that doesn't matter at all because each one is just as pretty as the other.

So far I have finished the largest one of the three by filling it with all sorts of neat sewing things  ~ sorry, I mean haberdashery things! ( I like this word ... haberdashery ~ it sounds really neat and old fashioned!)

I took many photos for you to see everything and not miss a thing!

 

My first haberdashery box ...

 

The box is lined with a piece of an old pattern sheet and tied up with string ...

 

 

... that holds an aged tag with a very neat quote that I made and ...

 

... once opened there are so many bits and pieces ~ some old and new ... but see for yourselves!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed my latest doings and now I am off,  to work either on the other two boxes or maybe another creation ... I not sure which it will be yet, but please do stop by soon again here at Todolwen to see my next creation!

 

I hope you are well and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day,

 

Karen B.
