I posted about my button box, but then I started looking through some of my sewing supplies. I never noticed them much before. My first sewing machine was avocado green and was inherited from the elderly woman who lived across the street from my family. I had just finished college and thought I might use it. I used it a lot and I made my first few sets of curtains with it. It was a great machine. With it came a bunch of the woman's sewing supplies and some old church bulletins with needles stuck in them. I think these came with it. They are English silver plated needles. Originally sold for 10 cents. I have no idea how old they really are, but I think the packaging is great and I still use them. They work great.
This is another set of needles that have great packaging... you can't buy needles in a little paper wrapper like this anymore.
That old sewing machine was given to someone else when my mom gave me her old one, but there are days when I miss it. It could sew through anything.

What's that expression? Oh, yeah: "They don't make them like they used to!"
