Vintage Sewing Machine

Fell in love with the cabinet on this machine.

No, not fancy, or wrought tron, or lots of cool drawers,

but I thought it would make the most adorable desk..

painted white, antiqued..

See the top leaving against right side of cabinet?

Just fold machine down, and set on top, instant desk!

  and I love the old machine too.

Look at the detail they used to put on them.

  love the detailing. Molded iron...scrolly. so beautiful.

 more detail.

 look at the end piece.

I just love it all.

 and rust!!! =)
You know how I love rust.

beautiful..

That's my treasure for today.

be blessed

A Few Fun Finds

 A few more fun finds from our vacation 3 weeks ago.....

LOVE these huge buttons.....

 7 of them. Up for grabs.....

I think this is a humidor... used for storing tobacco?

I thought it would be a perfect little sewing cabinet.

a pin cushion here....

 sewing notions inside...maybe in a little basket..

What do you think??

Paint it white??? Leave it brown....black???

 Here is an advertising letter openeer.

Could not find out anything about it on the internet.

That means either very rare.... or very common.

and here are some other little treasures.

Still more to unload. Cleaning and

 getting into computer a long process...

How about a little pinkness in the Fun and games department?

They will fit great in the new room at the store.
Would you change them? How?
