I have always enjoyed fossicking in antique shops and at fairs looking for treasures. Having been a keen embroiderer over many years, sewing related items are of great interest to me. They have now become much harder to find as well as being much more expensive. My collection has grown over the years and I now have some lovely items.
Here are a few examples : One photo shows a group of sewing items made from bone, including a needle holder, crochet hook and pincushion.
The second group has an enamelled needle holder with a green tassle. The wooden holder contains thread wax and the “Blue Boy”packet holds needles. Just a few items to whet your appetite!
