Look at this pretty sewing needle display box I ordered. I thought it was the perfect decoration for a small shelf in my workshop and I was delighted when it arrived full of beautiful original vintage needles. It also arrived with cobwebs and lint bunnies...but fortunately, no spiders or bugs! It obviously spent some time in a basement or old barn but the lovely needles and wood-divided sections were worth the brief vacuuming time.
I just adore the tiny packets of perfectly preserved needles and they are so charmingly presented. There is an excellent assortment of brands, sizes and styles, (even some with GOLD eyes!!!) and even though they are 100% usable, I am going to keep them as they are...rowed up for easy viewing. The 'Made in England' packages are my favourite and I was happy there were some actual Dorothy Frances ones remaining in the set. I think the little messages, artwork, and design of the labels and sleeves are such a wonderful representation of the era (e.g. the 'War Economy Pack") and I'm excited to show off my collection to all who'll take a peek.
