That is a great way to display pincushions. There are so many cute patterns for pincushions available, but I thought I would never make any, for what to do with them. Certainly not use them! But here is an idea that could easily change my mind!

Oh my goodness No. Almost all my pincushions are vintage. From the 30's - 50's I think. The 2 shelves on the 1 walls are animals, a lot of lusterware (glass/porcelain). the others are the silk with the little men around the outside, and a few misc. ones I have been given. I have yet to make a pincushion. :-)

Ok do you know something I don't . Va Beach has earthquakes TOO ?? I have already had to deal with snow , Crazy winds, and smoke . lol
But the no dusting part sounds good.

Ok this is just too funny. We had a small earthquake today.

Looks really good. You are the first person that I've seen on here from Va Beach. I've seen a couple from NN. Did you feel our earthquake. I work on the 6th floor of CHKD and felt it. EVMS evacuated thier hospital; Norfolk General
