I was shopping around in my favorite antiques stores today and ran across this little bag...The front of the bag is embossed with the word darnings. I just had to take this home with me. Inside I found these...
What a cute little bag! Filled with tiny cards of darning thread. The colors are all so muted, I wonder what she used to mend. Most of the cards say the thread was made in England and the larger card was used to mend silk hosiery. So cool!I feel honored to have her darning kit....

I just love how you see things like I do. I love thinking about who owned the antiques I buy and what they did with them. I imagine we shared the same interests a decade later. Sisters of some sort.
