I'm a retired teacher trying to clean out my house of all the stuff accumulated from four generations of my family. My goal in life is to not leave a mess for my family to clean up after I die! I've sold on other platforms for a few years now, but after watching Joselyn's videos I decided to try NikNax. I love to see thrifting videos since I've always shopped at thrift stores, passing on that love to my daughter. I also love to see what others have to sell and have been known to buy some things that I just can't pass up, of course adding to more "stuff." All of my items come from a smoke-free home. We have one cat that I try to keep away from things that I'm selling, especially clothing or other items that could collect cat dander.

VTG Collingbourne's Box Mending Floss + Misc Spools and Tatting Cotton

I found this thread in my father's house (pet and smoke free) after he died. Based on other items discovered with it, I think it belonged to my great aunt who died in the late 1970s. Included is a box of 10, some partially used, Collingbourne's 2-ply Mending "Floss," each originally 25 yards. The box indicates that this thread should be used for "Mending and Darning Silk or Lisle Hosiery and Lingerie." I've also included 1 partially used Star and 2 partially used J.P. Coats tatting cotton along with six miscellaneous spools of thread without labels. The box is the original box, and I tried to replace missing spools with like thread. I could have been wrong but there are probably the same threads in the miscellaneous grouping. The plastic covering on the box is torn. The box itself is in good shape with the gold seal "Learn to Remember Names Begin with Mine" still intact. Please feel free to ask questions!
