Under the Stairs

We are still cleaning up the house before starting any renovations...after all, we are moving in shortly! I decide to tackle the little space below the stairs. It looks like there is a pile of stuff left which I will likely throw away. There are a surprising number of tennis balls found. There is a tissue paper full of linen handkerchiefs, one embroidered. And then at the very back behind a lot of building leftovers I find these two beautiful old boxes. In one there is miscellanious screws, tins, and random little things. In the other, is a sewing box. I have no idea how old they are or how long they have been there. And finally...a tin of old glass marbles.

  1. Every time I move somewhere new there are tennis balls in the closet.

  4. You should go to those antique specialists for the marbles and sewing kit. I bet they are worth something.

  5. Yes, I think I will keep the sewing box and marbles. You can play with them when you come and visit...
