TREASURE BOX!

It took me a while but here's finally a post about
one of the finds from two weeks ago.
I saw this 1950's sewing box under a lot of dust
with a £6 price tag in a junk shop.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found all the
treasures that was inside of it!
I must add that I didn't save everything, there
was some junk and not all of it would come to use
so what you see is what I kept.
(£6 = 65 Kr, $9, €6)


Closed.


Open.


The cute tins!

There were booklets too!

These buttons really caught my eye, my favorite
of the entire bunch. Aren't they adorable?

There's a lot of work behind all this you know...
I sort and clean everything, can't stand dust and
dirt on my new found treasure(s).


First I sorted all of the buttons, it was a bit like
detective work and I only kept a small amount of
the whole bunch, I gave the odds to charity.


I put all buttons in a plastic bowl with some luke-
warm water and some anti-bacterial washing up
liquid and stirred them for a while before I poured
them into a sieve and then onto a towel where I
dried them off.


Like most old stuff you have to mend but I don't
really mind.


A quick wash with a non scour sponge and anti-
bacterial washing up liquid.

I wish you all a very nice weekend!
