Surviving Minnesota!

WOW!! It is pouring rain and the lightning and thunder is going heavy here in Greater Metropolitan Orrock.

My birds will not be getting out in this rain. It is dark even, like 6 am sunrise dark...Poor birds..

Because of the rain I think we could have a shed cleaning party here!

I'll come help! But if I find any cool antiques in there I get to take them home

No deal. I know there are a lot of cool antiques in there....Some I stole..some I bought...There are 16 sewing machines in there.
I bought them.

What a greedy grinch! You got 16 and wouldn't give me even one?
Especially knowing how much gas money it would cost me to get there!

They are all unique. I wanted to make a display of them in the attic..

It was nixed by a WWD.

I bet they are piled up with junk now and collecting dust as we speak. You wouldn't miss just one of them. . take pics of your shed and post. . I'll instruct you how you should clean it and then you send me the machine I like best. Sound fair?

I am fascinated by the mechanics of them and the looks. The cases are interesting on some. I even have an old coffin case singer which is my pride and joy..

I have one purchased in 1903 with the original needles and instruction book and the receipt for it. Around 7 bucks as I recall.


I have tried sewing but it is not one of my many talents.
