MY 'BARN SALE' FIND!! Need help give "her" a name.
1 Attachment(s)
Yesterday, we went to pick my husband's new suit (he outgrew his work suits since he retired), and we passed a barn sale sign at an old farm. We turned around and pulled in around buildings and fields and parked between rusty old farm "stuff". There was a huge barn set up like a professional seller, but old, dusty etc. (I complained to my DH - another "man sale").
There were alot of pickers, grabbing old toys, tools, and such, so I went over to the china bits and pieces tables (around 10 of them), and found this little beauty. It is a singer sew handy, in the original box. I spoke to the farmer, it was his kid's machine, and I bought it - for $20!!!! The pickers gave me a nasty look as I proudly carried her to the truck. Now, I need help naming her. I was thinking of Dell (as in Farmer in the Dell). Any suggestions. |
What a grreat find!! Congratulations!!
|
Lucky you finding one so cheap. I was thinking you might want to name her Hannah (from the SewHandy label - Handy to Hannah).
|
Wow! Nice find! Aren't you glad you stopped.If you want a feminine name, I think Adele or Adell would be nice. Like you said, farmer in A Dell or the singer Adele.Have you tried it out yet?
|
What a find. It looks very well taken care of. I like Adele for her name. I think all sewing machines should have feminine names. JMHO

She's a little beauty!
|
it's really cute and looks to be in good condition
|
Wow! She's in pristine condition! That's a lesson learned - you never know what you might find at a sale, even a "man sale."
|
I will be looking for a manual, and a bobbin, and a needle screw. I will name her Adele, it was my mother's nick name (adeleine).
She is just so cute!!!
