irrational desire

modflowers: vintage sewing basketSometimes, although you know it’s irrational, you just want things.

This doesn’t mean that you necessarily go and out get the things, but the desire is there nonetheless.

So it is with me and vintage sewing baskets.

It’s not that I collect them. I don’t have any, actually – just my lovely sewing box, which appears in this photo:

But I do like vintage sewing baskets.

They’re far too small to fit all my bits and bobs in.

I don’t need one and I wouldn’t use one.

But I still really like vintage sewing baskets. ♥

  1. They are a joy aren’t they. My favourite is my Nan’s which I have left full of the contents it had when it came to me. Every now and again it produces just what I need and I swear I can still smell her perfume! Have another car boot find that smells more like a cat yawning every time I lift that lid!
