Hi all,
So, a friend of mine offered to sell me one of her first treadles back in the fall for a great price. I hemmed and hawed and then the winter weather arrived and I was worried about transporting it in the snow. Got in touch with her this week and made plans to get it on Friday after work. Weather alert: up to 12" of snow expected on Friday!!! (Yes, it's April Fool's Day, too). Hopefully, I'll be able to get it on one of the weekend days... :)lots2do |
Oooh lucky u!

That will be great. You will just love it. BTW, someone posted a clue to help get your rhythm going on one of these little beauties. They said don't put both feet side by side. Put one foot toward the back of the rocker pedal and the other one toward the front. It works real well. Good Luck and enjoy.

Snow is just a joke (laughter). I predict it will be beautiful and sunny and you can get your new treadle (or not - smile). Anticipation can be fun too. Soon it will be in its new home and you will send us pics (hint). Have a great day.

Please post pics when you get it!!! :D

I hope that the weatherman is wrong :D:D:D

If you lived close to me I would have given you one. I had two that were in my way, I never used them. My DD took one and I finally convinced my other DD she needed the other. They are so common to find in my area it's hard to find anyone that doesn't have one if they want it. Many only want the metal cabinet stands for decorative use and take the machines out and discard them instead of cleaning and repairing them.

Oh Bella, that would have been neat! But I am getting a great deal - $30 for everything and as much help as I need. She wants room for another different kind of treadle and just wants this one to have a good home.
I had originally planned on getting it today until DH said, "Did you forget it was our anniversary?" Oh, cough, cough, guess it slipped my mind. Thanks for all your comments. I'll try to learn to post a picture after it finally comes home! :) |
