Florenza Pin Cushion.
Its current location is crammed inside the sewing box (an old hat box) and it holds bobby pins.
Which means that when I do want to wear bobby pins, I can never find them, because until unearthing this, I had forgotten I put them there.
I’m not much of a sewer (ahem). I do like the concept and almost want to learn how to sew.
Status: Move bobby pins to bathroom where they can be used.

The usual thanks to Richard and John for inspiring this Alt Title obsession. And to Ben for the “jokes” format.

Great photographs again, Deanne. What a lovely little object – it has the weatheredness of Venice (hence the alt title no doubt).:)
Thanks Richard! Yes it did suggest a kind of old world glamour to me:)
Bobby pins. I just learned something new.
Cool:) I didn’t know it wasn’t the word used on the other side of the pond. Had to look that up.
