Kelli at There’s No Place Like Home hosts “Show and Tell Friday” asking “Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there’s a story behind your special something, that’s even better! If you would like to join in, all you have to do is post your “Show and Tell” on your blog, copy the post link, come over here and add it to Mr. Linky. Guidelines are here.
This week I wanted to show some of my decorations and other things related to sewing. Some day I hope to have a combination sewing/craft/guest room where these will go, but for now they are scattered throughout the house.
I don’t know if you can tell from the picture, but this has kind of a 3-D effect with the spools, buttons, and machine being raised.
My mom gave me this. It’s supposed to hold spools of thread but I didn’t want them to get dusty. I think it is cute, though.
This is a little miniature from Boyd’s Bears that my husband gave me.
This is a little removable tray inside the box.
This is what it says inside the lid of the box. 🙂
This is another little Boyd’s Bear box, also from my husband.
This is not a decoration in itself, though some day I may prop this on a shelf in said sewing room.
It holds stationery:
These are some little tins I got very cheaply at Wal-Mart. They open like old-fashioned lunch boxes used to.
I showed this in an earlier S&T about cross-stitched gifts. My sister made this for me. It is a Paula Vaughn design. The calligraphy is from Doorposts.
You can see more Show and Tells at Kelli’s.
Happy Friday!

Great sewing decorations. I love the Boyd’s bear box. You must enjoy your time sewing!
I also like the miniture sewing machine, that is very cute! I hope you get your dream sewing room some day soon!
These are all delightful things.

Oh those are awesome decorations. They would really go in my sewing room.
Hi, i didn’t see your link at Kelli’s place. I may have missed it. For once, I managed to visit all of the links that were up when I pulled up the site. I guess I should have refreshed.
I love the things you showed. I bought some of those tins for each of my granddaughters. one of them wanted a sewing kit for Christmas a couple of years ago so I bought that and filled it with some fat quarters, needles, etc. The other one, I just gave it to her. She is keeping her cross stitch in it. I am thinking of giving her some 9 patch squares to stitch together when I visit this time.
Of course, I love the Boyds figurines. My DIL asked if there was anything special I want to do when I visit. I always want to go to Boyd’s country. I don’t think they mind. The kids love to go.

Hi, Tghanks for visiting my site. I finally got the pictures up ithink. My daughter at college was trying to help me by watching from her end. Its so frustrating when my computer shows its alright! Anyway, I love your treasures- so old fashioned and reminiscent of such a wonderful bygone era! Hope you will stop by my site again some time and God bless you!

Barbara,
I absolutely love your sewing decorations!!! I am in the process of slowly decorating my sewing room — seeing your collection has helped me realized what’s out there as far as “sewing” decorations go…. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
Thanks also for the lovely comment you have left on my peacock quilt.
That is a lot of sewing decorations. I love all the different styles.
