Cards-365-236
In preparation for Macro Mondays "Cards" theme on Monday coming, I have begun rounding up and photographing some "cards" that I have around the house. As our families' genealogists, we seem to have a LOT of old cards of all sorts so I am starting a little collection to see what I like best. These are the first.
This is a small collage I made for the area above my sewing machine. It consists of my MIL's old card of Superior Pearl Buttons (NB- 15 cents for a card full of pearl buttons!!!) , an old Elephant Brand Sharp needle with a piece of coarse cotton thread still in it, the packaging from the needles and the sticker from the spool of thread- which my Granny used to call a "reel of cotton". She and her sister KNEW about cotton! Both worked in the cotton mills in Bolton Lancs from childhood!!!!
