I wanted a larg-ish pin cushion, and we found this sugar bowl (sans lid) at a thrift store while she was visiting, but didn't have the right colored velvet, so she packed the sugar bowl home and sent it to me with place to put pins! I love it!
And then, there are European treasures that my sister found in the flea markets I made her visit:
I love the binoculars. They were from an antique shop in Lyon. The case says "the opticians of her majesty"
And I know this isn't old, but look! Look at this beautiful, wonderful flowery printed liberty fabric that is going to become a scarf for me this winter! Luckily there is a whole meter(!) of it (oh how I wish metric was standard) so there will even be some left over!
Yay! I never took any shots of the finished one...Can you get that pucker out of it? It sucks.
