What is it about sellers out here? I was just at a local antique store and they had a 1909 66 with lotus decals (not bad, but dirty and gunky with some missing on the bed) in a pretty decent cabinet (not refinished or clean) for $295. When the guy told me that, I about choked. I told him outright that that was WAY too much for its condition. He also had a later model Featherweight with a case that looked great on the outside but was missing its inner shelf and the foot control was mint green. No attatchments for $395. What?

Well, my fingers were itching to get that lotus, but not for that price. This is the same shop where I got my 301 in the art deco cabinet with all the attachments, a box of bobbins and the buttonholer for $85. That was a bargain.

This is a look-alike pic, not mine. This was a good buy at $25 and less than 2miles from the house.

I think we need to Praise God for the copperhead. If he hadn't been bitten and had to go to the doc/hospital, etc. he could have gone a long time without knowing about his cancer and it may not have been so curable.
So while the bite was unexpected, not wanted/needed, painful, etc, etc, it was a Godsend to Billy. PRaying for a complete recovery.

I had the seven year old come sewing today. I put her on the hand crank and she did very well. Next week her 8 year old cousin is coming and wants to use the treadle. I gave the grandmother a treadle and head. She is getting the cabinet restored and the head is in great shape. She can take over letting her granddaughters sew on it. The girls both have enjoyed sewing on my old machines. I hope that they continue for ever. Kathie
