The one name that I always makes me stop and look is "mom" out of habit. When the 3 kids were small, I even thought my name was "Mom"
Hehehe - I am the Mother of three also and whenever I hear a child cry or call out Mom, I too am up and ready to help!

When she opened them for me, they held their daughters' wedding presents - new, modern machines in treadles.
What a priviledge to see such a thing - the Amish don't let a lot of outsiders in, though I have to say the ladies at the flea markets and road side stands selling their baked goods have always been friendly and willing to chat.

I was directed to this site as I searched for information for a vintage treadle machine. It's a Standard Treadle and I believe it to be a model no. 93-V. Anyone have any info? I most likely will use as a vintage piece, not for sewing at this time. It does have lots of attachments. etc in the drawers and it is in good condition.Thanks!! Kelly
That is one gorgeous treadle and I hope you get to sew on it eventually. The cabinet is just beautiful!

You certainly couldn't use that catch phrase for a modern advertisement now could you???!
