I had fun today shopping unexpectedly with a member of this boards sister.
Remember this posting on the Estate sale:
"Was looking on CL, even though I say I won't. And I found this, if anyone in the SF Bay Area is interested.

Scroll down almost all the way to the end. Miriam, I thought of you. When I saw the pictures
Now when I see a machine, my thoughts are Wow, and then, do I want to clean it. A lot of time and elbow grease, or should I say Sewing machine oil."
Well, my husband talked me into going to this today even though I told him I don't need another machine since I don't know where I'm going to put my latest.
I arrived just a bit before 10am and there were about 20 people already waiting. I get in line, the doors open, I head to the room with all the machines, and I quickly survey the machines. Almost all were parts machines, but I quickly looked through for the Necchis. Only one looked nice, but it was missing a cord and pedal. I claim it since it's a Necchi that can be treadled.
Well, In walks a very pretty lady that looks dazed. She mutters something about any pink machines. I watch her.
And then I realize that this must be Anamaria's sister.
So, I get brave and ask her if she happens to know a person by the name of Anamaria. She looks surprised and says yes, and do I know her. Big smile goes across my face and I say yes, I have met Anamaria at the TOGA.
She then asks for help. That she is so overwhelmed and that she wants to surprise her sister with a machine, but all of these machines look so bad.
Well, that Necchi Supernova that I really didn't need is now Anamaria's.
I had a blast shopping with Anamaria's sister. We hunted through chaos, clutter, and disorder to find all that was needed for that Necchi Supernova. We found two foot pedals, Necchi bobbins, Necchi bobbin case, manual, and some other wonderful goodies.
She told me that she was ready to walk out, that all the chaos was too much for her. She thanked me for rescuing her.
Anamaria, It was my pleasure to help your sister. I had a wonderful time hunting for all the items. Enjoy!!!
