This is a little keyring come thimble sewing kit. What a novelty. On removing the thimble there is a tiny reel of cotton and some needles. It is made of brass and leather and is also a new addition to my sewing collection.

Here is another plastic needlecase with roses on the front cover. It is made by The British Needle Co. Ltd. You don’t buy needles this way these days. How nice to have all your needles together in a folder. I wonder what era it comes from; maybe 1950’s – 60’s?

Here are three metal buttons in the shape of a flower. They have a pearl centre which sets them off nicely. They are new to my collection.

These buttons are from a Vincona Pty. Ltd. Sales Rep card from 1998. They are of various designs and made from some type of plastic ( maybe acrylic or polyester ) It is interesting to have the card to identify their age.

This rather chunky button has a gold metalized coating which wears off in time. It is a nice design with cherries on it and measures just under 3 cm.

These three small brass buttons each have cut steels as part of the design and their detail is fine. They measure 1 1/2 cm.

I was given this small round Pewter frame many years ago so did an embroidery to fit it. I used silk ribbon and thread. The embroidery measures 5 cm.

Here is a plastic needlecase with yellow roses on the front. It was made in England and inside reads ” Golden Fleece – Perfection in Needlemaking.” I wonder what era it comes from – maybe the 1960’s.

This button measures 3 1/2cm and is of a grey plastic with a cut out design and it resembles a flower. It is also a sew through type button.

These buttons are of a cherry red plastic with a cream flowerlike design. There are two different sizes and they are a sew through button.
