Silk Purse? Or Sow's Ear?

You know the feeling- someone contacts you and the gist of the message is "you like sewing, I'll bring you some stuff".  Sometimes there is a lot of rubbish, or even all rubbish, but occasionally ...


The wooden box intrigued me - I love it

And inside one of the cardboard boxes was this gorgeous set

Other goodies included this bullet shaped and sized thing

But after a little wiggle it came apart to show this ...

And I've got two more boxes to sort as well!


This is definitely looking like a silk purse sort of goodie box!

    OMG...what a treasure trove. How lucky you are and how generous of the donor to recognize that this box of 'stuff' might be meaningful to a sewer/quilter.

    Treasures.
    I'm always excited. I'm going to a sale this weekend where the ad mentioned two sewing machines (low end $), but I could get lucky on all the accessories.
