My Best Friend's Sewing Cabinet

My BFF Vicki was in an antique/used furniture
store one day when she saw this little sewing cabinet.
Isn't it pretty?

Look at all the stuff that was in it. It was full. 
Vicki went up to the counter and asked how much it was.
The lady told her that she didn't want to sell it separate. 
She said she wanted to keep it with the sewing cabinet.
Vicki was confused. So she went back to where she found it.

All she saw was this beautiful armoire cabinet.  She didn't see a sewing cabinet or so she thought.

She opened this up and found this!!!
Can you believe this?

Everything that you see in it except for a couple of items was in this cabinet.

Even crochet needles!

We were wondering if any bloggers knew what this was.
We don't have a clue.

Even vintage quilt patterns and tracing paper was in this cabinet.

Look at the vintage patterns.
I LOVE it!!

As Vicki was showing me everything in it she began to open it up.

Oh yes, this billfold was in there.  The man's drivers license and a metal social security card. The man was born in 1913.
It also had his hunting and fishing license in it.  She said it was just thrown in there.
"Sweet Vicki" is going to try to find his family and give this back to them.
I knew this before she even told me. This is the kind of person she is.
She is a woman of integrity.

Here is the fun part.  See her pulling the table out.

And opening up the sewing cabinet.

Then she pushed a button and the sewing machine came up automatically.
It is the neatest thing.

This was also in there.  We think it is something with embroidery.
Do you know what all this is?

This is the box that it came in.

This is practically a new sewing machine. This sewing machine was also in this cabinet. 
Vicki said that this is not the original sewing machine though.
But it is very nice.  She was told that the lady that owned this had to downsize and could not take this cabinet with her.
I didn't ask Vicki if I could say what she paid for this but I will tell you that she got a great deal. 

But look what Vicki is sewing on......Granny would love it!
This is another deal that she found. 
Singer 401A
She took it to get it serviced and the guy told her that the machine had never even been used.
She got an unreal deal on this too!!!

Look what she is making.  It is a little bag. She had just put the zipper in it.
She said she would send me a picture when she gets it finished. 
It is so cute.

And look what she gave me.  She found this on a blog and downloaded it and folded it just for me.
It is a Pocket Stitch Book for embroidery stitches. 
I LOVE it!

This is some embroidery that she started a long time ago.
I think she is getting in the mood.  This girl is good at anything she does.
I looked at this and told her that this would look beautiful in her home.
That is probably why she didn't finish it way back then.  It was waiting on the home she has now.

Beautiful.  I can't wait to see her finish this.
She inspired me.

This is a drawer that was in that sewing cabinet that was full of scissors.

This is another drawer full of stuff.
Can you believe that she found this nice cabinet full of goodies?
I loved visiting my best friend and seeing all of her goodies.
This cabinet is a dream to me and believe me I am on the lookout for one.
But you know what?  I would be excited if I had found it but I don't think I would be anymore excited  than I am for her.   
I just had to show you all.
