Grandmamma’s Sewing Box
It was recently my birthday, and a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She gave me these in three beautiful tins, including this octagonal tin covered in Edwardian beauties. The tine may be old and battered, but I think those imperfections add to the tin’s beauty. It tells a story of being well used and well loved.
How apt it is then that a few weeks after I was given this wonderful tin full of ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and fine notions, Maria announced the theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” for October 20th, as “old boxes”, which is derived from my suggestion of “old, antique or vintage”. This theme also includes old tins. I knew immediately which tin I wanted to photograph.
Thank you for making my suggestion into a wonderfully fun theme this week, Maria. I hope you all like my image for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
