Cherrybsixty, it is always good to hear from you! Actually, my Hubby is as bad as I am in bringing home those old machines. He brought my Light Running New Home and a White 1950 machine in a cabinet home without me knowing about them. He loves to go garage sale shopping, thrift store shopping, antique store shopping for the old machines -- it gives him a kick to find one before I spot it.
Yes, it is my money, but we don't differentiate that way. It is just that I am not sure he would be really thrilled about me getting my 3rd FW since they are so pricey and the white ones around here are even more pricey than the black ones. Besides, I am dealing on a Free Treadle (made by Free, not free to get it) so I want to get that treadle before I tell him about the white FW. As soon as I get the Free treadle nicely tucked away in this house I will show him the white FW. A white FW is one machine he will notice -- it doesn't blend in!
