This sewing caddy captured my heart during an exploration of my friend’s grandmother’s house. The caddy  had been there for a while – notice those wooden spools of thread – and my thoughts went to the sewing habits of a woman I’d never met. It was more poignant than I had anticipated.

We looked around the entire house and then, just before we left, both of us needed just one more look at the sewing things.
