Sewing Shelf

This is from the Nancy Van Horn collection. Nancy was a pillar in the miniature word because of all the years of working with Houseworks. She is a dear friend and this piece was from the recent auction of her estate. 

This little blue painted shelf holds a lot of sewing stuff: a bolt of fabric and a remant of fabric, a well made wooden thread caddy complete with spools of thread and a pincushion on top, a nice sewing box that is nicely lidded and has brass handles, a basket of sewing notions, and a beautiful blue glass bottle. 

There are marks on the back where tacky glue was used to hold it in place against a wall.
