I'm experimenting with using old double-deck playing card boxes to display vintage sewing notions. I like the see-through boxes, but their plastic faces are scratched. Of course the sewing notions are worn too--I got them all at the Thrift Store, mostly 50 cents/each.
Time warp: most (? anyway, a lot) of the notions were made in the USA, England, or West Germany.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these... collages/assemblages, when they're done.
Sell them on Etsy? Give them away?
If nothing else, I could keep them for a while and then donate them back to the Thrift Store.
I don't know, I'm just enjoying assembling them.
I also don't know what to write "About Me" on my profile, now I'm won't be working in Activities anymore.
Just now I wrote "notions scrubbed and sorted into little packets", which is actually true but sounds too Manic Pixie Dream Girl: "I paid the cab driver in buttons!"
(I know I'm not a MPDG even though I put buttons in boxes because I don't listen to the Smiths.)
I'm leaving it for now.
This one ^ includes a Band-Aid I found in an old sewing case.

P.S. Photos taken with laptop PhotoBooth---I still haven't replaced my broken camera.
