Whenever I see my Grandmother she always gives me little gifts and almost always they are related to sewing. I know I may be alone in getting excited over vintage buttons, old seam bindings and the like, but when they are packaged in a vintage Max Factor powder pot, how can I resist? It's a shame modern cosmetics aren't packaged this way anymore. Of these little treasures, I especially love the apple buttons and the little lace motifs - apparently they are meant for handkerchiefs. To add to these pretty things - some pretty flowers. Also a note to say I am going away for the bank holiday weekend so probably won't be posting again until the middle of next week. Have a lovely weekend everyone!
i wouldnt be able to resist either if they were in a Max Factor powder pot! :p and i do also think that vintage buttons are wonderful! i wish i knew how to sew :(
