one of the plainest, most simple pincushions I own, but I just love it.

What a beautfiul collection! I collect bird's nest...only after they have fallen from branches, never while in use. They are in the large glass built-in cabinet in my living room c. 1823. Not sure if the built-in is that old. Seems to be from the research I've done.
I love all your sewies, Lori!!! A wonderful collection of scissors, also, and a neat way to display them. I LOVE the bird in your header....do you have a pattern for it? Would love one.
I so enjoy your blog, and appreciate your giving us such wonderful eye candy ....christine
What an awesome collection! Love the tiered spool holder/pin cushion and your thimble wheel, too! I also really like your double stacked tomatoes on the funnel. Everything is beautifully displayed.
Ohhhh lovely little collection Lori!!
