Vintage?. maybe to some but not to others. I've always loved all things sewing and over the years have collected a mountain of 'vintage' haberdashery.... isn't that a fab word!

So this is what I've done with some of it. I love shrines too!

There's stacks more stuff in the cupboard so there will probably be more shrines to come.

The shrine measures 35x18 cms and is made from foam core board.. and includes pages from an old Girls Annual. vintage buttons, embroidery silk,lace, a piece of very distressed cross stitch ( I knew that would come in handy someday!)
Vintage velvet leaves (Saved these for 'best') cotton reels.
