    What a nice museum, Cathy! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!

    Would you possibly have a part for the machine I have attached? The broken part is pictured below the machine.

    I know you have been incredibly busy constructing your Vintage Sewing Machine Palace. Thanks for your response whenever you find the time.

    I love your collection. Thank you for sharing. As I rescue vintage machines, I tend to hide them away in closets so I don't have to explain my addiction. I am always concerned that no one will understand why I would want the older machines when I have shiny new ones. I take courage from you....how you proudly display your collection.

    I knew you must be a Californian before I checked. This was my first thought, too! Not a good place to hang out in a shaker. LOL

    I love this room Macybaby, thank you for the tour! I wish I could come in person, you have so many lovely machines there and I'd love to meet you in person and say hello, but I don't see myself making it out to SD anytime soon, unfortunately.

    What are you going to do with all your attachments? Is an "attachment shed" in the works next?

    Cathy, I have sat here and enjoyed a cup of coffee while strolling thru the museum...what a wonderful way to start a day. I can see, thru your display, all the beautiful differences in these beauties. Thank you for all the work it took to set up this museum and for allowing me to enjoy it from a distance.

    Looks great! Looks bright and I love the natural pine shelving. Also the curtains are a lovely touch.



    Just a thought: I'd hide (some of) the conduit behind removable(?) wainscoting and use the top as a narrow shelf for your attachments ..... You'd achieve more of a cottage look that way and be rid of the distracting pipe.
