    I decided to take it out, dust it off and show it off!

    She and Grandpa married in 1898. He took a small case with drawers and she lined it with some velveteen. He drilled holes in the bottom drawer and put a few pegs in it for spools of thread. Some of the needles are still in the glass tubes!! I included pics of all the drawers.

    Dedicated and organize woman!

    It really is a treasure. Just to know your grandparents touched all of it makes it even more special. I would love it too.
