Well, the last thing I need is furniture, but I found my self saying can I go in and look around? Guess what I found......it's not a feather weight, but it is a vintage Singer model 66-18. I got it in the cabinet for $15 and it runs too! Now DH and I have the project of getting it cleaned up and making sure everything is in tip top shape. Oh yeah I also found a vintage quilt top for $3.00. I take pictures tomorrow and post. :-D :-D :-D
:P :P :P :P :P

Woo hoo! What a nice find. I myself have never been lucky enough to find sewing/quilting things at yard sales. Yesterday my BFF called me and said she bought me something at a yard sale, it was a large box of fabric, mixed content but still lots of cottons, for only $2. I won't be able to pick it up from her until next weeek but I'm thrilled. She is an avid yard saler and keeps an eye out for me for cheap fabric.
