This is a sewing box
With satin lining
And tiny key;
Ugly buttons
and safety pins.
And when I open it I wonder:
Why did she need green and yellow thread?

This sewing box was given to me when an elderly relative died.
It is too beautiful to use
And so it sits on display
With the original contents.
Beauty can be a disadvantage.

Alice - just like a magpie you have gathered many treasures for your nest.
I just love it when you share them with us.
Silly Alice, there is no such thing as an ugly button. They are all treasures!
I love it.
Gorgeous box! The acidy yellow and green will every be a mystery...((HUGS))
How happy am I that you don't live in a John Pawson house.
Shall I include a link? I think I shall...

personally I prefer the Wellington chest to be found under the sewing box but that's why I'm MrM not MrsM
love the smiley faces on the packet of safety pins!
Ygly buttons??????? I find them.....cute as buttons :-)
Oh, I love that! I have an old sewing box (not quite so glam) that was my grandmother's. I use it as my jewelry box. And yes, MrM, that chest under the box looks mighty fine, too. You just keep being MrM, and treat MrsM very, very nicely. Have a lovely weekend in Venice.
Oh you lucky thing!
I have my mother-in-law's sewing cabinet. It is flawed but lovely, and full of the cotton she had used in old projects. I use it All The Tim and it makes me think of her whenever I do.
