Ebay Treasure!

I like to buy ink stamps, pads and paper punches when I can find them on sale or clearance.
This led to the need for storage! I wanted something pretty that I could put on top of my desk. I decided to browse on ebay and found this! It looks vintage, but I am not sure if it is authentic! I AM thrilled with it. Since the drawers are fabric lined, I want to line the bottoms with wallpaper scraps or something before using it for stamps.
With something new to add to my craft room, maybe I will get it cleaned up and more organized.
Y'all Come Back!

  2. Is that a thread cabinet? It looks similar to one my great grandmother had that came from an old store where they stored their threads. It is beautiful.

    when you were describing it the other evening I had no idea of the detail. Make's me think of "Elkin's" the old 5 & dine store in Yoakum. Mum

  6. I agree that it looks like a thread cabinet. My mother has one. It's a little hard to store things in though, because there's lots of little pegs in it! (to put the spools on. Does yours have them? It's beautiful!

  7. I think it is actually a reproduction. It does not have pegs for spools. It is perfect for ink stamps!
