I already have a table one HERE which works but this one is a prezzie for my sister. It works beautifully and looks rather lovely in my house but I can't keep it now.

Edit... I didn't read your edit.

Edit again... i dated it on line via the serial no and it is 1937. Mine is 1926.

I have been reading your posts regarding your new house and have decided that I am going to move in with you when you get moved in.

Hope you don't mind too much, but it just sounds too nice for you to keep it to yourself and not share it with me

I hope you don't snore - its a very small house :rotfl:

I know I'm very lucky to be moving there, and I love it :j I'll put up some photos soon to show some of the nice features; kitchen and bathroom have to be ripped out and replaced and a few other jobs done before I can even begin to decorate or anything; its likely to be a while before I can move in

I managed to get hold of this in our local charity shop today!!! :j It's not actually for me but for Pink-winged who's been looking for one for ages and it was only £15.:D

Haribo,

I can't tell you how touched that I am that you bought it for me. You made me cry. I'll take really good care of it, I promise. When you come over in April you can tell me where's the best place to put it.

Love you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx




Now go and clean that floor! :rolleyes:

Its beautiful Haribo. :T a few weeks ago our local second-hand furniture place had a beautiful old machine with the original wooden table, drawers down one side; all in working order and all the drawers were full of old haberdashery. it was sold half an hour before I got there, for £20 .... I could have cried!

That link takes me to the homepage now for some reason so just enter cupcake in the search box at the top right.

I love the sewing machine!

*sighs wistfully*

Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to find one when we move back to the UK...

I bought these Laura Ashley teacups/saucers today:

sorry if this posts twice, but I did it once and it disappeared - think my puter is cracking up.....

Oooh, you two, how lovely!

Pink, what will you do with the machine? Will it be to use or display? It reminds me that we have DH's gran's Singer in our loft, but I have no idea how or where to display it Any ideas?

Hi Penny,

I was looking for one for display but apparently this one is in full working order so I might just give it a go.

Go and get yours out of your loft.....Haribo will [STRIKE]spirit it off because she has a thing about sewing machines[/STRIKE] tell you where best to put it.
