The Gatherings
Today I had to share my love of vintage notions. Where did I get this love you ask~ I believe it was from my grandma letting me sort through all her spools of thread looking for the right color to match the fabric or was it when she had me sorting through her buttons searching for the perfect one. What I didn't know is that it was probably a ploy to keep me busy as a child while she finished her sewing~ But regardless she instilled a heart's desire for all things notions~
Now to store it all I will have to do a separate post on that~ But I was swooning over this cream suitcase with the lavender silk inside. Do you love notions? Vintage or new? What about retro suitcases and trunks? Do you sew or do some other needle craft? Please do let me know~

I just found your blog and then I noticed you were a Tea Cup participant. Although I am not, I really love Martha's blog.
ReplyDeleteI love all things vintage, and I'm even starting to like mid-century modern, although it's taken me awhile since I grew up with similar pieces.
I feature a blog a day and I would love to have my readers and followers experience your blog. It's quite unique and much different from mine. So tomorrow (June 4) will be your day.
found you thru Elizabeth's blog Altered Book Lover...lovely vintage notions! I too learned to sew from my grandmothers. and still have some of their notions. can't wait for ideas for storage!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! I love vintage anything. I have to say I never thought of collecting vintage notions. I love to sew. Maybe now I'll be inspired to look for these in antique shops.

PS My previous post had typing errors so I removed it.
What a great suitcase! I love the lavender inside and it looks like it is in such great shape. I love vintage needlework. I bead and embroider when my hands aren't too sore, and I also crochet at times. All of these things I was taught by my grandmothers and aunts and I hope to pass on. There's something about hand embroidery that I cannot pass up. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, love your photos AND your goodies. Thanks for finding me!
