While on vacation my grandmother and I took a day to hit some thrift stores. Well at the first stop my eyes fell upon the trendle piece of this beautiful desk/machine...oh boy did I want it!!! Well I saw the tag stating that it was up for $350. Kept that in mind and covered her back up with the intention of searching for any others that day...no such luck came. So I left $300 with my grandma with instructions to start at $200 and see what happens. You guessed it they took the first offer and this is the beauty that my grandmas brother in law will be fixing up for me for my return to the states in Oct!!!!

That's a lovely machine. Good buy there, and I've always had a special love for drawers like that. As a child I "helped" Grandma do some of her drawer straightening and always found neat things in them.

You'll love this beauty for many years.

I plan to have her as a grand showpiece in my home. She deserves all the attention one can give her. As you can tell I haven't picked out a name for her just yet. Hoping upon our reunion it will come to me...

Great buy! I think the desk/table alone is worth $200! It is beautiful. Enjoy ~ Pat

I love the ornate apron piece across the front. It will for sure be a beautiful focal point in your home. Thanks for sharing.
