So...last Friday I popped Allie in her car seat and we headed up the lake to do some shopping. It was a beautiful day and the lake was so calm and pretty...but it's a good thing I was looking on the OTHER side of the road at one point, because there was a special treasure just sitting near the edge of the road, waiting for a new owner!
It took ALL my strength to get this wonderful find in the back of my Acadia (Allie was no help at all - lol), but I got it in and am just tickled with it! I think my whole body was shaking for a 1/2 hour or more afterwards...I'm not sure if it was from excitement or the extreme exertion I had to expend getting it in the back of the car.
All this FREE!
Complete with original manuals, a letter, belts, attachments...it's a genuine pedal sewing machine and I am in LOVE with it!
