The stories everyone has told are really touching. With the long weekend coming up I wonder how many of these "older Ladies" will be finding new homes? I know we will be keeping an eye out. Marie M. |

We'll take William so he can drive, haul the Uhaul trailer with all of our goodies, and manhandle the machines, and remind us to stop and eat! :lol: Got to hit some "dives" with yummy good food. One of my favorite shows is "drive-in, diners, and dives". We will need to stop at some of those places along this expedition. |
Long weekend coming up, I'm planning to stay home and work on some of mine. Hopefully those shopping will find lots of good deals.
Marie M. We are also staying home for the long weekend. Sewing and working on some of my vintage machines sounds very good to me. BTW, the black 301A with the gorgeous cabinet that was listed last Sunday night... I wrote to her on Monday and never heard back. Today it is not listed. ...on to the next vintage machine. I wonder what she will be? So far, I don't have any 'he' machines. Oh wait, I actually do. The last machine (Singer 401A in an orginal cabinet) I bought is for my grandson and it is named Taylor. Silly me. :-D Maybe I better do photo shoots on the long weekend also. I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy behind on posting my machines. :shock: |

Hi all, after being unable to connect for a week, we're finally able to get some Internet. We're both sitting at a picnic table in the next site over typing away! We're at a camp ground in Burlington, Vt after spending a couple of weeks traveling N first to Va, then to Ottawa, Ontario, then back S towards but not directly home. Got offered a fairly nice 301 today for $200, much more then I can pay. Guy said it worked well, hadn't even bothered to clean it up, but it did have the case.
All the rest of the machines except for the 99 I bought and sold in 3 days in Va at the beginning of the trip have been nothing special. I bought a souvenir thimble in Canada and a few bits of fabric from thrift stores, no great find yet! |
