#toolsofthetrade I bought this stunning late 19th Century « nécessaire » at a Paris flea market several years ago. While the gorgeous scissors don’t cut as well as I’d like, the thimble is near perfection. It’s a bit of a risk as its previous owner used it so much that there are two holes in the tip, but it fits so much better than any modern thimble. The needle case also keeps a petite bodkin, should I need to thread some ribbon through something. So much more elegant than a safety pin. I’ve yet to use the stiletto, but I do love having it. #antiquetoolsarethebest #handstitchingismyhappyplace #couturepassion #silverscissors #silverthimble https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhz5begnNo/?igshid=4ebx0b72q8os -- source link
