After eating our weight in chocolate for breakfast, we all staggered down to the
Sunday Market at Camberwell for a squizz. I've been going almost every week for the last month or so, searching for special things that I can use to display my wares at the looming
Melbourne Stitches and Craft Show. Today was a good day - I found this gorgeous vintage sewing box ...
It needs a bit of TLC, but it is well made out of oak, with brass hardware - a nice bit of oil will bring it up a treat. I plan to reupholster the lid/seat and inside with my own fabric - I cant' wait to see how it looks!
I hope you've managed to score some great stuff this week too, like
these people have! Happy Easter, and enjoy the rest of your day!

Well bringing that home would have burnt off all the breakfast chocolate, you need to eat some more!! Love Posie
Wow, that's gorgeous! What a find, it looks great as is, but I can't wait to see what you do to it. I especially love the little drawer at the bottom.
That is an awesome find indeed. Have a Happy Easter Nic! X
How cool is that? What a fabulous find!
oooh, great find! Can't wait to see that one after you've finished with it!
Love that! How gorgeous. That will look lovely with all your design work inside. Great pick up.
that is indeed a fantastic find. all the other stall holders at stitches and craft are going to be extremely jealous of your display area!
What a wonderful find!
What a great find! I love the shape of it!
Oh that's a little beauty. The little drawer in the bottom is so sweet. xxNick

Great find. Can't wait to see the end result! xo
Oh, I'm in love!!! But can we talk about the tapestry? Please, please do something wonderful with it, or give it to me, if you recover that gorgeous chair.
Now if you need any vintage ladders for displaying things, I scored two sweet ones on Ebay recently and am happy to talk about a loan for S&C. They'd be great for displaying tea towels methinks.
Oh that's one gorgeous treasure - your fabric on the lid will look divine ;)) Perfection!
I love it, what a great find!
Fantastic find - I wonder if that is its original fabric lid - it doesn't look like the same vintage as the interior? Neat that it has a mirror too! Lucky you!
Wow! What a find! You have done so well! I just love the beautiful details and lovely fabric on the lid.

isn't it lovely? what do you suppose it's original use was for? sewing?
I'm sure you will put your style into it and it will come up a dream.
I found something I've been wanting a while this weekend too - an old school desk with the ink wells, etc.
Have a great day.

I can't wait to see it with your fabrci on it- it will look brilliant!!
Looking forward to seeing the result of the makeover!
OMG that's a Star Wars drawing inside. My husband and I tried to have a good look at on your pic. It looks like a personal drawing, gee I would love to know how it got there. Both my husband and I are big Star Wars and science fiction fans. If you can save the drawing maybe frame it and give it to a young boy. Just a thought.
Score! What a fab find! Look forward to the after pictures xox
Oooh!!! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
