A quick post this morning as I have to head off to Manhattan, and a trip to Manhattan, even to simply watch a matinee and come back home again, involves a lot of time commuting. I don’t wish I lived in NYC, but at times like these, I miss being able to hop on the subway to get to my destination quickly.
I went to an antique store yesterday and decided to buy this little number. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it and have a wee bit of buyers remorse this morning, but only a wee bit.
Sewing machine drawers. I see them all the time and am never tempted to buy them. But this seller painted them this lovely shade of green and – the kicker – the drawer pulls are bunnies. I mean, come on! She had me at the bunnies.
They smell musty, so as soon as the weather cooperates, I’ll put them on the porch to air out a bit. In the meantime, I’ve put a little container of baking soda inside them.
Cute, right?
Egg cups in the den. On the top row: an artist bunny painting his egg, Humpty Dumpty (with an egg from Prague as his crown). Second row: another Humpty Dumpty (the head is a salt shaker), a little cherub holding an egg, and a pig getting ready to dine on an egg. Bottom Row: My two Disney egg cups (they’re very hard to find) and a little cowboy. Plus little wooden ducks and a lamb.
I found the shelves several years ago in a little antique shop.
Okay. I’m off to take a shower.
Happy Saturday.
Have no buyers remorse! Love them.

Thank you, Eileen!
very cute!
Thank you, Carolyn Marie!
Love that new piece. I’m sure you’ll find somewhere darling to put it. Love the bunny pulls. I just love those old sewing machine drawers. I have one in the bathroom that I keep rolls of toilet paper in. They are all so different.
Again, love the egg cups!

I’m not sure where it’s going to go, but I do know that I love it, Judy!
I love anything sewing related. Claudia, you gotta treat yourself!
Yes, indeed!
No remorse! Sometimes we just need a treat for ourselves… and those bunny pulls are ridiculously cute. Enjoy it!
It was impossible to resist!
If I’ve ever seen sewing machine drawers for sale in an antique store, I clearly didn’t know where they came from, but yours are darling…oh my, bunny drawer pulls and egg cups all in one morning! Delightful!
They come from those old cabinets that sewing machines used to be housed in. Thanks, Vicki!
Those bunny drawers are adorable. I like your egg cups,too.
Marilyn
Thank you, Marilyn!
Those drawers are so cute with the bunnies! You will find a good use for them. Enjoy your trip to the city! Hugs!
Thank you, Linda!
I love old sewing machine drawers – I have a few. I use one on my bedroom dresser to corral my perfumes and lotions. I never thought about changing out the knobs. What a cute idea!
I never thought about it either, but it completely transforms the drawers.
They are adorable!..I have a couple sewing machine drawers here that I don’t know what to do with…mine are not refinished like those!..I’ve always liked that shelf with the cut out flowers!
It’s a charming little shelf – I’ve never seen another one like it!
