Her smile turned to dispair... I really hated having to let her down. She's still a great friend but doesn't get any great vintage deals without me going with her anymore so I can tell her what she's getting.
Awww how sad. I am laughing but it really is a sad story. On a good note, if she can't tell a Featherweight from a 66 perhaps she won't notice any difference when she's sewing either. 20.00 for a 66 isn't all that bad.
