I’m so thrilled! Not only do I have a new friend/estate sale-ing/thrifting/sewing buddy who does vintage sewing and lives literally within walking distance of my house (HOW did we never meet before?), but we went on our first joint outing today and I found these two amazing sewing machines at a thrift store!  One is a hand crank with Egyptian style markings and the serial number dates it to 1917.  The other one is electric with a knee pedal and is from 1920.  I need to find tables for them, but seriously they are so beautiful- and not only that, they were 75% off the regular price at the thrift store! WOOHOO!

Aren’t the so beautiful?  Machines back then were a work of art!!

Have you ever found a sewing machine at a thrift store? Please tell me about it!

I also wanted to let you know that I finally have a Pinterest account.  You can find me here on Pinterest- feel free to “follow” me on there.  I have now enabled “pinning” from my blog.  Feel free to share, just please link back to me   Can’t wait to see your inspirations on there!
