Antique Pins and Needles Holder

My mother went to a garage sale, and bought a big load of buttons, thread, and sewing supplies for me. When I opened the package, I was thrilled to find this darling little hand-sewn "pins and needles" holder.

I'm sure it was made by a little girl, while being taught to handsew by her mother. It is very sweet.

I just love antique sewing tools and supplies.
