As someone who loves rifling through second hand shops, car boots fairs and attic sales I am really enjoying the excuse to spend even more time doing this as I gather materials for my book.
I just had to share with you my top find this week.

| well hello beautiful |
As an avid sewer I have been after a big sewing box for years. Always convinced I would find the perfect one in the end. This little beauty was holding the door open at my local hospice charity shop and it was love at first sight.
 |
| Its magic-see how its becomes twice the size |
I'm a great believer in junk destiny and the fact that all my sewing items fit perfectly in this box make me even happier that I brought it. With its Concertina style storage its got room for all my bobbins, needles, threads and scissors.

| I will never loose my unpicker again |
My previous mode of storage for my sewing materials was a big plastic box and I was forever having to tip the entire contents onto the kitchen table to find something. Those days are a thing of the past as I now have a compartment for all my sewing gubbins.
 |
| Coloured cottons all present and correct |
At ten pounds I probably paid more for it than I should but with its dovetail joints, hand made handle and warm wood its an arts and craft thing of beauty.

| Welcome to Betty Bee Towers |
All hail the charity shop. I now have a lovely sewing box which is now on its second outing as a useful storage solution and I gave to charity at the same time. Whats not to love.
