This is a Porte Bonheur lily-of-the-valley needle rest. With a charming design reminiscent of French antiques, it's a convenient and practical item. I purchased it as a gift, but I no longer need it, so I'm selling it. ● Product Description This needle rest is from the "Porte Bonheur" notion series, a collaboration between the craft creator Rie Mizoe (Anano), the top stainless steel product manufacturer Nousaku, and Clover. A "needle rest" is used to temporarily hold a needle with thread attached while you're working on embroidery or other crafts. This product incorporates a magnet to securely hold the needle. Porte Bonheur means "bringer of happiness" in French. Lily of the valley has the flower language of "return of happiness." In France, there is a custom of giving lily of the valley to loved ones on May 1st. Retail price: 4950 yen Haute couture embroidery needle rest
