Great gift idea, sewing basket full of all kinds of fun items. Whether a beginner or a professional seamstress, this would be a nice unique gift!

We start off with a custom handmade wicker sewing box that has been lined with a nice silk material with a copper wire latch. There is a nice cobalt blue Noxzema jar with a tin lid filled with all kinds of buttons, wooden, mother of pearl, brass, copper, fabric, resin and more.

Strange article from a newspaper of 1962 from Vanderbilt University of a mystery student. They were peddling a fake student that came from Russia on a scholarship. LOL

This came out of a yearbook from 1960 high school in Nashville. It's a love letter the husband wrote to his wife. When they were in high school, they were sweethearts. He knew they were going to get married and have. family. Even reserved pages in the back for him to write in later in life. That's pretty cool.
