Dressed Up Thread

A vintage find...carefully wrapped wooden spools of thread in a pretty box.

Wouldn't it be great if they still sold thread like this, dressed to the nines?

  6. I remember when they sold stockings like that, at Peck & Peck. My father would drive me there at Christmas, so I could go in and buy a pair for my mother, while he waited in the car. They came in a lovely flat cox, the bottom of which was shiny red and the top of which was the grey and white Peck & peck pattern.

  7. The wooden spools are so nostalgic - you don't find them just anywhere anymore!

    Have a wonderful Easter!

  14. Jolie! I have some old wooden spools of thread from my mom. I do use the thread, but I save the spools (what for, I don't know).
