My Nan's sewing basket that I have inherited. She was definitely one of the Make do and mend generation and rarely chucked things away.

In this basket, as well as the obvious needles and threads, I found a clip on moustache from a christmas cracker, a coin with Teddy Sherringham on(?), part of a Battling Top, a scout badge, lots of odd buttons and what I think is a bit of mouse poo (that's a keeper!)
