She was on my Craig's List locally. I emailed the poster my phone number and we chatted for over an hour on Friday - we bonded immediately - she even shared a really cool recipe when I picked up the beauty! We had the Girl Scout Leader thing in common as well as a love of antiques. She was happy to send her to a loving home. She got her from her neighbor a few years prior and her neighbor received it as a gift from her father. She keeps in contact with her old neighbor and I'll likely get everyone's names down to keep with the machine.
Millie shares the top spot in my collection with my Singer 24 (with equally impressive decals but a lesser cabinet). Both with perfectly ornate treadles.
Small, gorgeous beauties!
Besides being so pretty, they are helping me teach my children basics mechanics and machinery.
