My fave was a sterling needle case. I wish I still had it. Smile. Your collection is very nostalgic and I love the needle cases.<br /><br />We wore dresses made from feed sack fabric. Our Uncle owned a feed store and we would go pick out our favorite designs when a new shipment came in. This is going way back when we lived on a dairy farm. A great memory.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week.<br />xo, JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-26608549330888059642014-09-29T20:22:22.972-05:002014-09-29T20:22:22.972-05:00Oh I love your needle cases.
