Greetings Jill, Glad to help if I can. Happy Holidays. ---Karen
Hi Jill, No it is a ring for one's finger. I have been collecting a multitude of sewing-related items for about 40 years so I might be able to help you with your tools if they are sewing-related. Have you posted their pictures anywhere? Regards & Me…
Hi Jill, Is your question about the tension devises that I am searching for? If so they are usually in the form of rings with a devise on top of the ring that the yarn or thread passes through and which provides a steady tension on the yarn/thread.…
I collect aprons that were meant to be worn while sewing, mending, darning, or knitting. (I call them all "sewing aprons."---see the ones I posted on My Page.) As a buyer of aprons, here I my preferences. My preference depends... on whether they hav…

- Hi Karen! I've just gotten on since the 15th! We've had our computer break twice. The first time our son put in a spare video card, and it ran for awhile, but this time it died! We bought a new PC at Best Buy yesterday, on the good ol' interest free payment plan!
Our son has to put all of our desktop stuff from the old hard drive on this one, and set up email, so I can only get online so far. I don't think I can fix my page here yet, until he's done that. My twitter connection is not showing and I don't know why. Oh, well...
Thanks so much for checking the spool again! As soon as I get all my desktop stuff back, I'll change the description on the spool. Take care, Diane

- Hi Karen!
This is an excerpt from the description in my listing of the wooden spool, at www.vintagecountrycottage.com
(this antique wooden weaving machine spool, really is
a unique find! It measures 9 3/4" tall x 5" diameter across each of the ends. It has a hollowed out piece in the
center, and there are a few flat head nails on one end. There is a very nice patina to the wood, and two little
indentations in the wood at one end (which is most probably where it had fit onto the weaving machine). It most
probably dates from the 1930's or earlier.)
It looks to me that the inside piece is wooden also. There are metal rims around the edges of each end that are hand pounded, and metal nails on the one end. Please let me know if you find out anything else.
Take care, Diane Mc :O)

- Hi Karen! I haven't been on my ning sites as much as I'd like to lately, and missed answering messages last time. I've listed the weaving machine spool at my website:

- Hi Karen! I saw that you joined my vintage linens group. I've been away out of the country for a funeral.
I found an vintage weaving machine spool at a local estate sale a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it is antique...100 years old...maybe 1930s? I am going to list it on my website. Do you have any idea about those, as to age and value? Take care, Diane
