Treasure Boxes

Well since I have basically ripped out all the knitting I have worked on that I can show you I will show you some great treasure boxes I have aquired recently.

First in the mail all the way from Japan.. my Shinkansen Bento set from Bento Yum!

It is just too cute! I like it!And it came super fast even though she said it would take two weeks I don’t even think it took one!!

Then I was at an auction down the street and got this sewing box.

It has some nice treasure in it..

It had the usual rick rack and odds and ends of thread and cloth that mostly went in the trash.. but it also had some great scissors, some pinking shears,  pin cusions, a pin cusion bracelet.. very handy for blocking! Some folding scissors and two darning eggs! When I peeked in the box I had only seen the one darning egg, that was enough for me to bid on it. But the second one that I pulled out after I got home was even better! It has a secret compartment to keep your needles in! very nice!

So treasures all around! And hopefully some knitting picks tommorrow! Got to go clean! Azia and I are going to Stitch n Pitch tonight! Brian is off in San Fransisco for WordCamp so I have Ashley coming to watch the boyz!! Of course this game won’t be quite as exciting as the one Brian gets to go to on Monday.. He is going to the Giants game where Barry Bonds is set to break the home run record!! No fair!!!
