pinkCastle....they are all beautiful!!

I had a parlor cabinet that I finally gave away because in my opinion it made the room look dark/crowded. I think it was the fact that there was no light coming through from underneath and the wood was quite dark even though in pics it looked a lot lighter.

We were both surprised how small the cabinet was but the walnut finish was just not right for the house with its mostly light oak floors and trim.

I've lost count how many machines I have right now. It is very addictive isn't it?

You've got that right! These are all machines that we've picked up since mid-August. Not all of the machines, just some that we haven't yet moved beyond the dining area.

I guess I only have about twenty machines but I had to slow down due to going back to work but I am getting ready to retire again. The last time only lasted a month. I am in the market for a longarm now.

Default and still more...

A 66 that we bought off of eBay because the seller was threatening to part it out and a 101 added for completeness (yes, it would/will need rewiring but I'm not too afraid of that.) The 66 is our third but is quite possibly the most pristine machine we've got - pictures don't begin to do it justice even at their original resolution. The depth of the decals is amazing, I've seen hints of it from other machines with this decal set but wow!
