So here I am and enjoying the wonderful use you have found for this darling vintage vanity case!<br />You know how much I appreciate how you incorporate things from the past with uses of the present. You are so savvy that way, it stores your sweet Grandmother's thimble, memories, and your modern day sewing treasures.<br />The collages you have created are beautiful works of art, my dear.<br />This was a treat to visit you this gray and damp day.<br />Thank you for sharing this at Thoughts of Home, but most of all thank you for being you and sharing your friendship!<br />xo<br />Jemma<br /><br />Jemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-73065690457032156082016-04-13T08:02:38.680-04:002016-04-13T08:02:38.680-04:00What a great idea to use the case for your sewing ...What a great idea to use the case for your sewing supplies!

The story behind it is so great and makes the case a precious memory keeper. I love what you wrote about thimbles: "All those quiet hours that a loved one spent sewing, thimble on the finger, thinking of whatever you think of when your mind is able to rest and wander." It's so true about hand sewing. Even machine sewing too.<br />Isn't it amazing how much changing the ISO setting changes the whole look and mood of your photos? They are wonderful photos and thank you for showing all the different versions in your collages!Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-41419055330431197762016-04-09T07:51:40.466-04:002016-04-09T07:51:40.466-04:00I'm so glad that you found a way to repurpose ...I'm so glad that you found a way to repurpose your mom's cool Samsonite travel case!Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216292186501923706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-6864741866516193712016-04-09T07:45:52.758-04:002016-04-09T07:45:52.758-04:00I remember those cases , yes first thing I thought...I remember those cases , yes first thing I thought of was a sewing kit when you said you didn't know what to use it for lol !
