While at Goodwill this past weekend I stumbled upon an amazing beautiful Singer sewing machine. I didn’t go there to buy a sewing machine, but it just look so amazing I had to get it. It’s all metal, with a wood base, wood cover case, and gold painted floral design. And did I mention it’s made in Great Britiain!!!! However, what I thought was only a missing bobbin which could easily be replaced- turned out to be $300 something of repairs, as I guess there were very interal parts missing said the sewing machine repairman. So now my dreams of crafting and sewing on a very cool antique machine – I can only just polish it and dust to add to my collection of cool things to display that just collect dust. I still love it though.
To add to my collection of Goodwill finds – I also left with 4 mint record albums in mint condition. I bought, John Denver’s “Windsong”, Barbara Streisand’s Greatest Hits v. 2 (it has “The Way We Were” and “You Don’t Buy Me Flowers!!), Peter, Paul and Mary’s “In the Wind” and Crosby, Nash and Still’s “Deja Vu.” It was going to be the soundtrack for me to listen to as I sewed on my vintage/antique sewing machine. But I guess they will hold as the soundtrack for me as I do nothing.
Wow, that Singer really IS hardcore. I’d have bought it too. At least it’s nice to look at!
I don’t sew at all, but even I would have picked it up for the house.
we keep it stored in the garage next to the rooster lol
