Oh Snaps

You have to dig around, looking for sewing notions at antique stores--sometimes they are hidden inside other things. This tin was so fun--I pressed on the right-hand corner, and it popped open to show snaps, and hooks and eyes inside. 

This is my favorite kind of find--the kind that catches the wear and tear and everyday use of everyday things. (And if you look more closely at these little things, they are marvels of engineering.)

Also, one dollar.
