ANTIQUE STORE FIND

It was too hot to do anything outdoors this past weekend. The weather here has been sweltering.....so, I decided to visit some nice cool antique shops.

Look what I found. It's perfect for storing all my small sewing items.





The brass drawer knobs have such a nice patina.




I lined the drawers with pretty paper.



The cut-out space in the middle is the perfect size for storing needle books.



I love my new old sewing chest.

    OMG! That is fabulous! I would've been squealing and texting my friend Joy to "start the car!" (we always do that when we find something we just LOVE!)
    You must be just tickled pink!
