I went to a small outdoor “flea market” in the country this weekend. During the nicer spring/summer/fall months it’s hosted once a month. It’s mostly some of the local antique vendors, and not really a flea market in the traditional sense. But the prices are on the reasonable side for the most part. The booth I bought this from is one I frequent at one of my favorite antique malls in Portland. There stuff always appeals to me.
I’m pretty sure what sold me on this (and had me paying $22) was the little spot for the thimble. It’s always the details that get me! This is the perfect size for keeping my hand stitching supplies in one spot, and toting around the house easily. I’m so happy with my find!

Oooh, great find! I love boxes like this! :)
That is adorable! I would have spent the money on it, too :)
Sweet score!
I love that! It's perfect.
It is very nice, and maybe unique. In time you will forget how much you paid for it and just remember the joy of your find.
What a fabulous find! I have a similar one that I would like to paint orange. Why does everyone but me seem to think that is a terrible idea??
Oh, this is beautiful! Great find :) The details definitely make things like this special :)
What a find! It's beautiful! I love the spot to hold the spools of thread. My tiny sewing box is crammed!
I too would have paid that much for it, it's worth it!
my mom has one of these. i have had my eye on it for years! some day it may even be mine..it was my great grandmothers and still has all the original parts. love.
I have a similar sewing box that was my great-grandmother's. It had all the threads, needles, etc that she used for darning and repairs and such. It's a neat cabinet that you've got!!
