Here is a link to the craigslist add with the pictures: http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/2471608817.html

I am super exicted to be picking it up wednesday night! Hubby has already said he will refinish the cabinet for me. Then we will look to see if we can get the machine running. For $25 the cabinet alone is a great steal, as I have been drooling over getting one as a display piece for the living room.

Lucky YOU :D:D:D

have fun redoing your sewing cabinet

what a great prog. for you and your DH to have together.

Wow!!! I was just looking at that add on craigslist. I live in Midland but my kiddos live in the Austin area. Very nice buy for you. Congrats!!! I hope to get me one of those old singers soon.

Great price: fun project! Have fun

say, that's terrific. it has a large harp area. congrats.

Now that is going to shine up beautifully! Not sure I've seen any of those! Love it!!

Have fun!!

Congratulations!!!

Wow, that's really neat!

Your and your hubby will have a true "honeymoom" working on this project together!! Enjoy and post pics when you're done.

Congratulations!

Lucky you

My what a project you have ahead of you........good luck is needed!

What a nice machine you're getting.
I love those old drawers, they were very well made. When you look at new furniture's drawers the difference is amazing. A lot of it is pressed sawdust and glued together.

A carpenter friend told us many years ago that we should buy used furniture and refinish it because it will outlast us. The stuff stores were selling in the 70s was so bad it would look crappy before we even got it paid for. So we either got old family or used furniture or built it ourselves. Still have a lot of it the kids didn't want or have room for.

Congrats that looks super. Have fun putting it together. BrendaK

How wonderful that your husband is able to refinish it for you! It will be gorgeous!

That will be a great machine for a collection. Love that its called "Honeymoon".lol And if hubby needs help finding out about the restore on them. Have him check with lostn51 on here. Thats his specialty!

Nice!!

Good For You!! :thumbup:

Oh -- drool :-P

Ha! Got a chuckle out of this reply. My hubby and I do not even change a light bulb together! LOL

Great find !!!

Not sure that we will refinish it 'together', but at least he will help if I get stuck or do it himself. We both tend to be hardheaded, LOL!

Morning Kimberlee - happy to see you get this, I had seen it on craigslist the other day & would have loved to have it, but I don't have a 'honey-dooer' to finish it for me (& now I'm no longer physically to take on a task like this.)

Will be anxious to see the finished project - bet it will be a beauty.

Also there are a few quilters from this msg. board meeting in Buda this Sat. for lunch & a "Shop Hop" @ B & B shop there, organized by bebe on here. Kinda short notice if you hadn't see it before, but would love to have you join us if you can make it.

Here is the link to the info:

Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love. :lol:

You are soooo lucky. Love to see it once it's all together.

Lucky find! I'm looking for a treadle too. Don't forget to post pics when you get it back together.

How exciting!! Enjoy and be sure to show us the beauty when she is put back together!

Lucky you. Post pic when finished putting together.

Looks like you have a fun project to do! :)

Make sure you post photos while your working on it and when its done. Can't wait to see how it looks. Have a great Honeymoon!

Fantastic

Wow, this looks like a fun project. Enjoy!

hope you send a pic after it is done

I guess that was a steal! It will be beautiful refinished and the machine case oiled. :D

oooooooo so lucky .

Great find! I am on the lookout for a similar one in the Houston area!
