    I went to my first storage sale Saturday. It was freezing here in Missouri. When he opened the shed for sale the lst thing I saw was a tredle sewing machine cabinet! We couldnt go in the shed but there were several antique tables and a beautiful Lincoln secretary there also so I knew I would be outbid quickly.
    I quit when it got to $200 and it kept going to $400. I knew the guy who won so gave him my number and asked him to call if he wants to sell the machine. It was a maple color with rounded drawers. Dont know if the machine itself was in there and he will probably want too much but I felt it was a "sign" :)

    Wow! Unless it was a rare cabinet, I think that's way too much money for a treadle when you don't even know if there's a machine inside!

    It wasnt just a machine. The shed had antique tables, a Lincoln secretary, stoneware crocks, a file cabinet, old tricycle, old sled, boxes of stuff and hidden stuff too.
    No telling what all he got! I wasnt bidding just on the machine...although that was my main focus! hahaha
