    SHARE has just inspired me to post this nylon mending set. It was Carlos's mother and I think it's British, although as she also travelled to the States long ago chances are it could also be American... really, I have no idea about it.

    I love the fact of the box being decorated as a TV set, and find the name "Lady's TV set"... so utterly machista :)

    really, I couldn't let it go to the dust bin!!!

      I love it! I guess the woman could not have idle hands, wonder what a gentlemans "tv set" would be :)

      probably a beer six-pack :/

      Thanks VET, AGH and JEWELS for your love!!!

      carlos has just told me that when they lived in Sevilla they were close to the americn store and used to buy there, so probably this is american too. I also saw a couple of them for sale in Britain... so not sure about its origins.
