When I saw 1950's_atomic_ranch_house's
post today asking what we store in our cigar boxes, I couldn't help but pull out my one cigar box and snap a picture. This was my Great Grandfather's, and I used to have more than this, but this is the last one. Sadly, when I went to open it, I discovered that one of the hinges has apparently rusted shut and the prongs that went into the box part have broken or popped out. I use it to store Barbie clothes in. Some is authentic Barbie, some made by my Gramma for my mom's Barbie-esque doll, and some by person's unknown for my dad's sister. I have my aunt's Barbie too, but she isn't in the box. I don't know if you can see in the picture, but my Great Gram apparently used it to store sequins! (for her burlesque costumes, I'm sure ;) )
The pair in the picture are my gramma and grandpa.
So, apparently it's true what they say about raining and pouring. Today I got another copy of the Marian Martin jumper pattern on ebay! Once again I just stumbled on it because the pattern number was nowhere in the listing! This one was all of $4.99! Now I'll have it in a size 14 and 18 which will make grading all the easier as I'm kind of a combination of the two sizes.
Just look at the adorable heart pockets this jumper is sporting!
