Welcoming Guests is 'Sew' Simple

Do you have an old friend you'd like to invite for an overnight stay? How about a sister...an Aunt....your mom? I grabbed a few vintage sewing junk supplies to make a friend of mine feel as welcome as possible.

Buckle up, people. It's going to be a junky ride! My mom gave me a whole mess of belt buckles recently. This one is rusty and metal...my kind of fastener.


A couple old books stacked on the table for my friend to leaf through. (They helped beef up my lighting situation too).




I zipped right through this project. I wrapped my pitcher in record time using one of my old zippers


I filled a box with little goodies for her to take home. Tied it off with creamy white bias tape from my old sewing supplies.
I think it's pretty. But then again, I may be biased...

My own dear mother showered me with the mother load of all buckles. Mother-of-pearl buckles...cha-ching! I felt like a mini Queen of Quantity for a moment or two.

I also placed a vintage paper needle holder that has sophisticated gold writing by my friend's bedside. Hmmm. What can I do with that?

I decided to tuck a little note inside it for her.

Okay, so here is a portion of my leftovers and I can hardly see a dent in it. What other things can I do with this stuff. **Please note - I'm a non-sewing junker. ;)

As always, take care and keep on junking!
