This cute little Coronado sewing machine (from the 50s) has been sitting in a local thrift store for a long time. It hadn't sold and I thought the asking price was too high considering the fact that there are some things about it that make it not "sewable". I asked the manager if they'd take less money and she said "oh yes", and she did so rather enthusiastically. It's in great condition, just needs some parts . . . I'll search for those sometime. But I just wanted to put it in my house as something cute and pleasant to look at. Surrounded it with some vintage notions and linens I have. This "apronista" just wants to enjoy it and think about the hands that sewed on it. Scottish Thistles

I love the way you displayed that adorable sewing machine CJ. Fun putting together vignettes, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteNice find. I'm looking around for one for my daughters to sew on. Stop on over to my blog some time. :)
