Name That Bobbin!
An apparently very old bobbin & bobbin case came into my possession today, by way of our local charity thrift shop. It was so beautiful that I couldn't pass it up. But now that it is home with me, I am wondering what exactly it is. It's quite heavy and very beautiful. It says ELDREDGEE on the side. Anyone have any ideas?
I have enabled the "comment feature" if anyone would care to post their thoughts. You do have to sign in with your email. I apologize for the inconvenience and I promise not to do anything with anyone's email information. This is just a precaution to keep spammers out. For awhile, there were lots of offers coming to the blog about getting bigger, richer, etc.

Go to your installation of movable type and change the name of the mt-comments.cgi file to somethingelse.cgi
Then open your mt.cfg file and on the line that gives you the option to change it to mt-comments.pl, un-comment that line (remove the # from the beginning) and change mt-comments.pl to somethingelse.cgi and upload the new mt.cgf file.
Then, when the spammer's auto spamming software looks for mt-comments.cgi it won't be able to find and you won't get spam in your comments!
