O.K., so here’s the picture. So I’m walking through this precious little antique shop (you know, the kind that smells of old wood and secrets) and tucked back in a musty back room there she was sitting…an adorable little vintage sewing cabinet. I wasn’t in the market for one, of course. I mean come ON, I don’t even know how to sew (is sewing re-attaching buttons with mild panic before work?). But there it was. And I was just intrigued by it.

A teeny little tray just big enough for scissors, needles and other poke-y things that I am probably always losing in my junk drawer.
