A couple weeks ago mon chou and I went to a flea market as we do on most Sundays. On this particular Sunday the vintage finds were pretty slim, but I did pick up a couple vintage sewing notions that I thought were really sweet. And surprisingly it is much more cost effective to purchase vintage sewing supplies than it is to purchase them brand new.


I got everything for about $5, not bad eh? I love the needle book especially and the little pincushion which is infused with lavender. You can't really smell the lavender anymore as it's an old pincushion, but I adore the sentiment. I wonder about the little lady that crafted this pincushion... that's a lot of thought and love going into it to add lavender inside, don't you think?
