Vintage Thingie Thursday

There's still time to join in the fun at the Coloradolady, for Vintage Thingie Thursday! I'm so thankful for topics for blog posts as I seem to have run out of steam ... my mind is empty, devoid of ideas these days! I'm afraid even with a prompt, it's slim pickings.

Here's an adorable photo of my dad's mom when she was young, somewhere around 1900? (I should probably say that my blog banner is of my mother's family and the photo I included in today's post is from my father's family.) I've also included a fun needle booklet that I found in her things - the design on the booklet looks rather like something from the Arts and Crafts movement era??? There's an inch or two of green thread left in one of the needles, I wonder what she was making?!
