My Latest Obsession: Vintage Sewing Boxes

After owning my sewing machine for 5 years I finally brought it out and taught myself to sew this past Sunday.  The issue was I hate to "learn" anything. I just want to be able to do it.  Dumb, I know.  I definitely hate to read directions so learning to sew was very intimidating.  The sewing manual just seemed too scary.  Long story short, it turned out to be so easy and I wish I had made the attempt sooner.  Anyway..... now I need something cute to store all my sewing gear in.  Of course it's got to be vintage!

I'm drooling over this one but who has $500 to spend on a sewing box?

1950's Lounge Chairs in Their New Home.

I just got an update from the buyer of my 50's orange upholstered lounge chairs. Here they are in her home. Don't they look perfect?  It's like looking back in the past .... or at a set on Mad Men!

Here are some photos of the chairs in my home. They are unique chairs and I really like them but they didn't work in my space.  It's good they found a new home where they'll be loved and cared for.

Unique Mid Century Spindle Chair. Who Designed This?

I stopped by a garage sale on Friday, a drive by no less, and bought this mid century spindle chair.  Love when you just so happen to find something mid century at a random sale!

It's quite unique with its ultra wide back and seat shape. Have you ever seen anything like it?  It looks like there was a tag on the bottom at some point. Other than that there is no marking or indication of where it came from.  Any ideas?
