The Magic Box

Earlier this year, I won a giveaway at The Domestic Diva’s blog, the vintage sewing box shown above. I was thrilled because I thought the box looked super cool and I :heart: Lisa. I could not have known that what would be arriving on my doorstep was nothing short of magical.
Seriously. You are looking at a magic box.
I don’t know how she did it but Lisa filled the box with things I did not know I needed at the time. Every time I realize I need something, I simply open up the box and it’s there. For instance, I know I’ve bored you all to tears with my ongoing thread misadventures. You’d think I’d actually buy it when I buy fabric but I never do so inevitably, I get ready to start sewing something and realize I don’t have any thread.
I kid you not, y’all, the past five times this has happened, I’ve opened The Magic Box and matching thread is in there. Every time!
So far, the magic has all been sewing related. But the day I open it and the winning lottrery ticket is inside, y’all will be the first to know. After Lisa, of course.

I need one of those, almost as much as I need an Easy button.

What a wonderful gift! It’s like a bag of holding isn’t it? Whatever you need will always be in there!!

That is pretty cool! Can you wish for something and close your eyes then open the box and it’ll be there????

Awww Mary…
Funny thing…while I was shopping for the contents of the Magic Sewing Box, I tried to think of things I’ve forgotten to pick up for my sewing projects in the past.
But most importantly, the box is filled with friendship. Unfortunately for you, I kept the lottery ticket…LOL!
With friendship,
Lisa
