Momse's Sewing Box

The parcel man brought me my great-grandmother's sewing box yesterday.

My Momse's Sewing Box

It contains buttons of varying sizes and colours.

Buttons

And things that may look like buttons but have clearly been put there by one of my prankster uncles (yes, that's sweets wrapping paper).

Faux Buttons

And "Chinese thread" (I presume it is linen thread - do any Danes know?)

Chinese Threads

And a beautiful little container of French linen thread. I dare not break this open. So pretty.

Linen Thread

And old coinage. 1960, 1969 and 1985, respectively.

Coins

And this is my favourite: a button from one of Momse's dresses. The colours & design are so her. I miss her.
