A Mother's Day message all will enjoy
A friend recently gave me her mother’s old sewing box. Opening it was so fun. Come and join me in seeing what was inside. This is a Mother's Day message for everyone!
The vintage plastic sewing box that Helen used...
This isn’t a typical Welcome To Nana's craft post. But when I opened the sewing box I grabbed my camera to include you in this little treasure hunt.
Helen Smith used this Vintage Plastic Sewing Box for years. Her daughter, Cathy, thought perhaps this collector of sewing and craft supplies would enjoy having it. She was right!
What was she like? What did she do?
I have sewing tins, sewing baskets, a small wooden sewing stand, and several glass containers of sewing supplies that belonged to various people.
Every time I open them, I’m reminded of the person that collected the items inside. I like to imagine them sewing and mending and pursuing various hobbies.
Somehow, I feel connected to them across time and distance as I use some of the items in my projects today. A kinship with those that work with their hands.
What about your "treasures"?
Do you have things tucked away in boxes or baskets that will be treasures for others to find and use?
Are you laughing out loud (or groaning) as you ponder other people having to sort through your crafting, sewing, or art supplies? Me too.
I am trying to organize, use, and whittle down the amount I have. But this blog allows me to justify having well supplied craft shelves. Thank you! Ha!
But seriously, I think it’s important to leave a little trail of supplies that will give others pause to consider what you did with your hands. And the possibility of them examining the importance of learning to work with their hands like you have.
There is a lot we can learn about people by how they invest their time.
May you leave a trail worth following.
A Mother's Day Greeting...
Blessings on the Mother’s reading this. Happy Mother’s Day.
...and a greeting for everyone that works with their hands
And blessings on all who join me in working with their hands.
May the world be a better place because we invest in people and bring a bit of beauty to the world.

Do you want a sewing box?
Sewing boxes make great gifts. They are great Christmas gifts for adults or kids and you can include the basic sewing notions as well if you want. Here are a few ideas.
- Three tier plastic organizer for sewing supplies
- Singer basket with sewing notions (fabric covered)
- Extreme sewing organizer bag
Enjoy!
If you have a sewing box of your own, let me know! Go ahead and leave a comment, rate it, and tag a photo with #WelcometoNanas wherever you post.
