These are a few of my favorite things...

Its Vintage Thingie Thursday again at Coloradolady.

Thank you Suzanne for hosting another great VTT!

This has always been one of my favorite rooms in my home and these are but a few of my favorite things that live in there. My vintage sewing machine and sewing memorabilia collection. This is for no other reason than to just see...and enjoy...that's what I do when I go in this sweet little room:)

My Mother in law, Betty gave me this beautiful old black and white photo of her own mother, Erma sitting at a treadle sewing machine she won at the Minnesota state fair in September 1923. That's her on the left in this photo. My MIL shared with me that she and her three sisters all learned to sew on this machine as young girls. What sweet memories this old photo holds of a time so long ago.

I am now honored to have this photo in my sewing room sitting on my own treadle machine...

The above picture was given to me as a "house warming" gift when the sewing room was completely done by my friend Joan!

 

Hope you enjoyed my little vignettes...thanks for stopping by for another VTT!

Sewing room, can there ever be too many pictures?

Of my little sewing studio...well that depends on who you ask. If you ask me, I never get tired of looking at it and being in there. I am thrilled to just walk into my studio and wander aimlessly looking at all my "stuff". In fact I find I "look and dream" more than do! Tonight I decided to add a few more studio pics, hopefully for those of you that are following my blog you will enjoy doing a little arm chair touring even if you don't sew, its just a cozy warm space... if you're in your favorite Jami's, curl up and enjoy without having to step out of the car...

Vintage spools and pin cushions,

Vintage sewing basket is holding the original 1923 bill of sale for treadle machine it is sitting on.

It was originally purchased new in 1923 and belonged to a women by the name of Virginia McKinney. 

Note; This room was designed by me, Theresa Bee

(and my handy-dandy sledge hammer that I can't seem to find anymore:~)

But the entire building, construction, design wall, painting and sweat equity

all done by my talented,

tolerant and patient 

husband, Mark Bee...

The Sewing Room...

My sweet sewing room where I quilt, sew, play and dream. Its just such a warm cozy place

to be. Like my friend Lori said, "If I had this room, I'd never want to leave it". She is so right, I feel the same way! All my collected treasures live there as you can see. Some people see junk in my room when they look around, I simply see memories with each and every piece. Sort of like when you un-pack the Christmas ornaments every year, each one holds a special memory that will live in your heart forever...
