Look what I ended up getting for my birthday!! I told ya how I like to celebrate my birthday as long as I could...ha. About a week after my birthday, we went out to our favorite antique shop. Mr. Roden was having a 50% off sale. Those are our favorite kind. He has a whole collection of antique toy sewing machines that have been sitting in his store for at least the year that we've been going out there. He wants to sell the whole collection all together but I told him that he should sell them separately. He'd have a better chance of selling them. Not too many people want 15 toy sewing machines and pay that much money. I only wanted one out of them all. Before we left that day, he came to me and said that if I wanted the little Singer, that I could have it for a certain price. He told me to take it home and look it up on line to find out how much they were going for. If I decided I didn't want it, then I could just bring it back. ....not to worry about paying for it until I decided. Well, I found them on line and they are from the early 1900's to 1920's. They are selling from $80 to $265!! Chuck took Mr. Roden a check the next day and I now have a cute little Singer toy sewing machine sitting on my shelf in the studio. Another fun thing to look at as I sit and sew on my modern computerized machines. I'm sure some little girl in the early 1900's was tickled pink to sew with this little machine. I would have been.
