The good old days...

back in the good old days

even everyday objects

looked like little treasures

my friend has still the pincushion 

her grandmother used fifty years ago

(and a long time ago it was used by her great grandmother)

for my birthday she gave me 

those precious envelopes with sewing needles 

safety pins and a package with old bobbins

not that I wish I would live 

back in the days when our grandmothers 

had to do the laundry in the bathtub

(it was anything else but romantic)

but back then 

such everyday objects were treated 

like little treasures
