Antique Pincushions

They're not actually antique pincushions, but are repurposed bits of antique and vintage items used to create new pincushions. Pedestals and silver spoons. Linen, lace, velvet and notions. Hatpins and pearls.
Even an old Victorian child's shoe.






You can purchase these HERE.

Thanks for looking.

  1. OMG - I love the Victorian child's shoe pin cushion. I have an old pair of child's shoes on a big cloth doll that belonged to my dad's baby sister - and the doll is so nasty and stained that I can't really give it away - but those shoes, what a great repurposing idea. Shall I send you the doll?

  2. I saw the one you sent to Sharon. They are absolutely gorgeous! My dear Mum collected hat pins and would have LOVED one of these. Sadly she is no longer here.
