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 cady complete with spools of tread and a pin cushion on top, a nice sewing box that is nicely linded and has brass handles, a basket of sewing notions, and a beautiful blue glass bottle. 

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