Sewing Box

Last month me and my parents went to Whitstable to an antique fair. I love Whitstable it's a cute little seaside town, unfortunately it wasn't very sunny and did rain a little so we dived for cover in the entrance of a disused shop and ate some chips! The fair was in Whitstable castle- which until recently I never even knew existed! I bought some wonderful things including 1950s green crystal necklace, two ocelot pelts and an old sewing box with contents! I have no idea what I'm going to use the pelts for! The sewing box is amazing, it needed a few repairs but the contents were beyond belief, there were packets upon packets of old new needles, threads, scissors, trims, pins- the list is endless. The needle packets were beautiful, its a shame that opulence has now vanished today.

Whoopsie

So it appears I've forgotten about this again which is very bad to be honest but in another way it's great- it means I have a little treasure chest of things to show you in the next few days, I'm going to try and do themes each time but that will probably fail quite quickly! First up is 'boxes'- a selection of things that I've bought recently with their original boxes and they are some of my favourite little things. I found these 1920s/ 30's garters on eBay, they are the most beautiful pastel blue and purple with a lovely pink backing and cute little bows- I adore them, they also have the orignal pins and buisness card/ receipt with them. This is probably one of my best ever useless purchases- useless because I will probably never wear them but I find them beautiful and can see myself getting them out of the box and showing everyone!






I also found in charity shop these lovely little hankies, as soon as I saw they had my initial I had to have them! Not bad for £1.99 and the box is amazing too!
