The Library has been a busy place here lately, & have been busy at home--which equals to not much time to blog or peruse Pinterest or answer emails. However, did look at Dorothy's blog: HensRule and saw where she posted some Needle Books and it made me think of one I have. So, I brought it this morning to share with her, and took a photo of it to share with ya'll! I keep it in my mother's Button Bucket--the lid is long gone, but seeing that button jar brings back so many delightful memories! Mama never sewed like some moms did--mainly because she worked an 8 to 4 job every day outside the home--first for the Board of Education, then, later for the County Commission. If we wanted a button sewn on, she could do that and hem our pants and skirts. We loved playing with the buttons in the Button Bucket! I found the Needle Book and some other sewing treasures in a house I purchased...what fun it was to come across the Needle Book, an old measuring tape, and packets of buttons!

  2. I thought about that too, Dorothy. Thinking about how Claire travels with two little boys now on an airplane!
