Sewing tin of joy!

I bought this beautiful old sewing tin from Farnham Maltings for £10. The seller said its had belonged to an elderly gentleman whose wife had died recently. He wanted it to go to someone who would use it. I wish I could tell him just how much I use it and love it. Whenever I need just the right colour, it's there. When I can't find a tape measure, it's there and when I want to just look at something that has been loved and used and treasured, it's there! Thank you to the previous owner whoever you were, your sewing box is in safe hands!
