I like the painting - so simple and beautiful.
The tools - wow - look how bent up those needles are! but so surprising is that they were found.

That's a very nice illustration. At first I was wondering what all those bent things were!
That was kind of mean to show sewing tools from Jamestown and not tell how you came by them!
They are totally cool.
oh drool i love those vintage sewing tools :)
Alas, the Jamestown sewing tools are not mine! The photo is from the archaeological report of the excavations in the 1950s. I just thought it was something nice to add for the 4th of July!
17th century? Wow, love them!!! The thimbles are great!!! Have a blessed day, Cher
What neat vintage treasure you have. Great post. Also, thanks you for visiting my post.
I have had the pleasure of seeing the artifacts from Jamestown. Really amazing!
The picture is beautiful. Wouldn't it be nice if you did own those vintage sewing tools.
The watercolor is charming-but I think I'll pass on the sewing notions!
Love the illustration..the colors are wonderful..and oooo!!!!, the vintage sewing things. How I would love to have them.
Happy VTT..have a wonderful and safe 4th.
Those Jamestown pins have seen better days! I like the colors of the watercolor. Very cheerful!
Do the sewing tools have a story? Where did you find them? See...you really have out interest up, but none the less, these are great finds and wonderful things to have......

Wow, how rudimentary the tools. I cannot imagine! Imagine making a flag and darning socks with those.
I love your watercolor; the simple flowy lines are great, how come my lines don't flow like that?
Beautiful print. Those old sewing items just prove that no matter the condition, vintage/old is still cool.

Thanks for showing us the vintage sewing stuff! I love old tools of almost any kind. Happy 4th!
Miri, thank you for sharing these great vintage thingies.

Lovely watercolor picture! It is amazing how little thimbles and scissors have changed from the Jamestown times.
I had constant difficulties with internet on Thursday and Friday, and a busy weekend so I'm trying to visit the rest of the VTT blogs later.
Wow! Look at those old sewing tools. How fascinating!! I love the painting too. I can see why you love it so.
