A New Treasure!!!



I had planned to go the Windmill in Penn Yan today--it's a big farmer's/craft market about 35 minute drive from here with some of my Red Had friends--but when I got up my "body" said--NO--can do today!!! I did go to a garage sale up at the end of block today and I did get a couple goodies--but this was the main one;
Can you tell what it is????
Any ideas yet????
Yep, you got it now--it's an old wood sewing cabinet--they made these years ago in Home Bureau -- and this one belonged to my nurse at the doctor's office where I go and was her mother's. As you can see it was also "full" of all kinds of "stuff"--there was more on the right hand side, when I remembered to get some pictures--Here's some of the things I found in it--

This box was in it with all kinds of sewing machine attachments in it--Including the cute little oil can that is sitting to the right of the box--everything is in great shape--but no make or model #, so have no idea what machine it came with????








Here's a look at the top of it????






And here is a pile of the goodies that I am keeping You can see I have a whole large cup of old wood thread spools--some says 5 cents on them, there is a jar with buttons, some are alittle different--














Here is a better picture--there was even an old camera in the pocket--I like the old needle advertising needle case--alot of these items pictured have cheap prices on them--like under 29 cents


Here you can even see I found some money--so now I am rich--found 12 cents!!!! also notice the rounded part on the little pair of old scissors!!!










I have been a bad girl today as so far I have not sewed a single stitch--I spent most of the afternoon on this computer--I spent over 2 hours on my pictures file--doing alot of deleting and some reorganizing and adding new files and putting some of the pictures in them, so that I can find things as I need them--now I am in blog land and need to go visiting as soon as this post is finished-----Soooooooooooooooo!!!

Have a great day tomorrow--Hugs, and Smiles---Just, Di

PS I did learn that there are yellow hollyhocks--now to find some seeds for them??? the white lilies at the start are from one of my gardens---!!!

Hey Di, What a cool sewing chest. I've never seen one like that in my life!!!

So far, so good with my new plants. They'll end up eating them too, I'm sure.

Terrific find! I don't know why I don't ever find things like that. Terrific treasure! Good luck with the yellow hollyhocks.

Love your lilies, and your sewing cabinet! I grew hollyhocks quite a few years ago - see the pic on my blog Sidebar!
