Just joined and wanted say hello to everyone although I have been "spying" for quite a while :twisted: I have learned a lot from the board already, like how to clean my vintage machines! I own a Singer model 9W, a White rotary model 13 and a Universal zig-zag (my workhorse!). My very favorite thing to do is thrift shopping. It drives my family nuts! We can't go anywhere that I am not looking for a goodwill, salvation army, etc. It is definitely an addiction. I have been married for 18 years to my wonderful husband Marc and we have 2 beautiful daughters, Kara and Emily. I recently lost my baby sister to cervical cancer at the young age of 37. I miss her every day. To all you ladies out there...get your paps done faithfully!!!

Good morning and welcome from Arizona! You live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country I have ever been to. I lived in Kingston, right by the TVA plant there and sold out just before the "sludge", my son lives in Knoxville. I just loved it there!!!

Another "welcome" from Knoxville. Are you close? I'm sure we've seen each other at the thrift store, then! I can often be found in pawn shops, hunting a good bargain too!

So sorry about your sister. I'm not as careful about that as I should be, but I'm up to date now!
