Neat tatting pattern book with copyright date of 1941! I have always appreciated the art of fine tatting but didn’t realize there were different designs – with names – I just thought tatting was tatting. This book (23 pages) shows tatting designs of “Tradition”, “Wedding Bells”, “Butterfly”, “Fleurette”, “Debut”, and “Forsythia”. There are patterns/instructions for tatted boutonnieres, refreshment and luncheon sets, doilies, collars, cuffs, hankies, and so much more! The last page has tatting “h ...click for details

This is a super item that is not only very collectible but is very usable – it’s a handkerchief edgings book (15 pages) with a copyright date of 1949 and it’s a first edition! Some of the page headings are so cute – “Blow and Behold”, “Right on the Nose”, and (my favorite) “Will You be Mine?, Dainty edgings with come-hither ways”. Very good condition.

Neat sewing box made by Hommer Manufacturing Company of Newark 5, New Jersey, USA! It’s “marbleized” red plastic with clear plastic lid that shows two kittens playing with a ball of yarn. Box measures 8” x 6” (at bottom), lid is hinged and works great. It’s in super condition with minor scuff marks from use/storage – nothing detrimental! Box is the perfect size to hold a cross-stitch project so you can keep everything in one place – but would also be a really neat jewelry box!
