This afternoon DH called me from an estate sale-he found two vintage sewing machines. One was a Singer 15-91 and the other was a treadle. I was really interested in the treadle but it was seriously rusty. This one caught my eye though-look that that lovely art deco style! The veneer is in terrible shape-they obviously used it as a plant stand and didn't protect the wood-even the back of the desk is messed up. DH, however, thinks he can fix it up. The little drawer on the left hand side actually has a pen tray and the original glass inkwell! How could I not love this? The stool is original as well and opens up for storage. The serial number indicates it's from 1949.
This one isn't mine-I just grabbed it off someone's blog but see how beautiful it could be?
We've been under a tropical storm warning since last night so I spent the day sewing. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to borde...
Which, truthfully, isn't what I planned to make. And it really isn't that crooked either. So this is from the Tiny Town version ...
