pin it....

i think maybe i have shown this before.......but out of the corner of my eye today, a glimpse of many stories...........i love old pin cushions........and these are a few of my favs from my craft room wall.........the old rolled oats box was left at Mamaw's without a home.......filled with crochet thread and a tiny worked piece or two along with the hooks..............the blue satin heart was my Mom's, for as long as i remember it sat in her dresser drawer, i do think she made it.........the old crochet hats were my Great Grandmother's & the old leather baby shoe was just a treasure i picked up along the way.................................isn't it amazing at the styles....items....perfect goods...that are found to just make a pin cushion................a necessity......making~do with what they had...............
oh the stories.......the hands these priceless things have passed through.......oh what treasures....the real meaning of "pin it"!.................................................................i am blessed !
