I wish I knew someone who wanted it. (Homer is 40 minutes south of Syracuse, and the sale event is the "Route 90" sales, from Homer to Montezuma, NY. Really great sale weekend.

So, I bought a late 40's Domestic machine from shopgoodwill.com. No one else bid on it, and I got it for $5.50, and with shipping it was a little over $31.00. I took it to my 19 yo grandaughter last night, and she was EXCITED to get it!!! I wasn't sure she would appreciate it, but she LOVED it!! It came with a box full of attachments and the original book. It looks nearly brand new...probably hardly ever used, and the case looks the same. This was definately a WIN!! :-)

There was a fella in the VSMS who went in for heart surgery I think his avatar was a golden lab. He has not been on the board for several weeks. Has anyone heard about him or his condition.

Wish I could find another treadle machine. Love my New Home 1880's treadle. Am attempting to make a miniquilt on it. Such fun! I am looking for a Singer machine. I have four machines but none of them are Singers. Two are vintage and two are modern (I guess) with plastic cases. I have been bitten by the VB (Vintage Bug) and DH is no help.
He loves fire arms so there is no room for criticism!
I have yard saler friends watching for old machines, but they don't really understand what it is we are looking for.
Thanks to all you people who helped me get the old New Home teadle going. Have become addicted, since I can't trail ride my horse any more. Need another outlet!!

Maybe a free working one with all its parts will surface.
