To test the oldest thread from my recent haul I took apart, embroidered and sewed back together a cheap little muslin bag with the vintage sage Coats thread. Worked great, still strong.
I've been tidying up around the house and found this little tin I altered, and I couldn't remember what I'd saved in it.
Buttons and beads, of course. I was briefly tempted to add the buttons to my linen quilt, but I'd rather stick to just needle and thread for that project.
Another tin I found. I'm like a squirrel these days.

I love those little tins. I do the same thing. I have to clean out the attic at some point this spring and I can't imagine all the stuff I'll find up there that I've forgotten about since we moved here.
