(I wish needle cases like this were available nowadays. Advertising art has really gone downhill since ).<br />Must have been fascinating to dabble in archaeology. It's funny that earlier years in education didn't interest us. For example,I find as I grow more mature, my interests in history, geography etc....have only heightened, where as at school I found these subjects boring. Does that say something about the school system? I think so. <br />Anyway Floss,thanks for dropping in. Nice to hear from you.<br />Andreaandreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090282515077751930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123185409153106398.post-37417124893789120002010-06-08T18:44:51.981+10:002010-06-08T18:44:51.981+10:00I love looking inside old sewing boxes, and I espe...I love looking inside old sewing boxes, and I especially enjoyed the way you've presented these items in words and pictures. It's intersting to me which pieces are uniquely Australian and which might be found in my Grandma's sewing box.<br /><br />I visited the needle factories at Redditch when I was a student (studying archaelolgy, and digging in a medieval abbey nearby). I can't say I found it interesting at the time, but I'm glad of the link to sewing ephemera now!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.com
