Default And her future home

She will be going in this parlor cabinet. I picked this up from the local quilt shop. I'd been looking and missed out on a few 400 miles away, and then one day I stopped at the local quilt shop and in looking around spied this under some fabric.

It belonged to the owner, and I made her an offer. She bought it because someone had put an older Pfaff in it (and took out all the treadle parts), and not for the cabinet. That shop also sells new Pfaffs.

She was almost disgusted when I told her it was a SINGER cabinet. She said "you think it's a Singer Cabinet" and I said "I KNOW it's a Singer cabinet". So she took out her machine and I brought the cabinet home with me.



And then about 2 months later, I found a listing on ebay for the entire treadle parts for this cabinet on a "buy it now" I think I broke into a sweat hitting that button so fast LOL!!

I about cry when I see these parlor cabinets "repurposed" so I'm excited to be able to put one back to use as intended.
