On Pins and Needles for White Wednesday

I'm taking a little 'creative license' for this White Wednesday post, as it's not really all white, but there is white in the pics!  I love pin cushions, and have quite a few around the house.  The first four were all made by a very talented artist in Nashville.

This one is my favorites with the paper heart and little strawberry for pins. 


This next one really wasn't a pin cushion, but rather a lavender sachet!  Works great and smells good too!

My Grandmother always had a 'pin dish' on the coffee table where she kept her needles and 'tatting' thread.  Here's a little different take with some of my more unique pins.
The other day my husband asked me if I had a big pin.  I asked "you need a real big pin?".  He answered "yes, a big pin".  Can you imagine that he didn't think it was funny when I handed him one of these large laundry pins?  You'd think that after 32 years, he would get my sense of humor!  Go figure.....


I had this really old and ugly blue magnetic pin holder.  I really like the magnet aspect, especially if you ever spill pins or the like.  Well,  I simply plugged in the glue gun, found some homespun fabric,  and looky here.....much better!

Now I have a question about this next pic.  Does anyone know what these are, or what they were used for?  I think they are made out of plastic, but they have an aged patina.  They are also flexible.  I think they're cool,  but wondering what they really are!?!


As always, a great big thanks to Kathleen, our very talented hostess. Put your feet up and head on over to Faded Charm for tons of links for a fun journey through more wonderful whites!
