All of my sewing stuff will go to my daughter except for my tredle. That prize goes to my 5 1/2 yr old grandson. He has been amazed by every since I bought it and he's never seen it work. I think when he heard it doesn't require electicity it just facinated him. I promised him that I'd never sell it and that it was his machine. That and my antique bedroom set that he has loved since he was a baby. I collected the pieces separetly but the dressers and night stand all have marble tops on them. He loves them and I've told my daughter they belong to him. I already gave things to my oldest son that I wanted him to have. I didn't want to wait. I asked him one day what he would want and his words were only things that meant things to me; like my one of a kind oil paintings, an antique oval (used to be brass mirror) and I also included a set of antique candy and fruit dish that belonged to my grand mother. He's the only one of my kids that remembered her before she started getting mean as her age set in. I thought it was appropriate that he have it. That was proven this past year when his house caught fire and all was lost in his living room except for the candy/fruit dishes and the antique mirror from his grandmother. The funny part of it was that what saved his life was his dog whose name was Daisy, his other grandmothers name. My son never heard the smoke detecters but the dog started jumping up on the bed and woke up the whole house. So that night both of his grandmothers were looking out for him. One for his collectibles and the other for his life. Ironically, both grandmothers are sisters.
