I hear you. my husband just came back from his trip to W Va. his friend from 1965 asked him if I would like his mothers treadle. Well of course, I guess! I have no idea what it looks like, what brand, etc. All I know is his parents came thru Ellis Island a long time ago, so I am guessing she bought it after that.
and then my friend in Fl said she is donating her Kenmore to the church yard sale, as she really likes it, but doesn't want it any more. What she's donating it to some stranger without asking me first?
We will see if I get either one.
