Thanx Santa....
HeeHeeHee... hubby and I took the pup to the Poodle Parlor for a 'Spa treatment'... and to kill 2hours hubby and I grabbed a bite to eat and then hit the Thrift, I figured I would pop in and score some yarn.. for misc. crocheting.. in fact I had planned to look for some red yarn to crochet the tops of a couple of dish towels (thanx Krista)... when low and behold... what did I see... not 1 but 2 sewing machines that now live happily in my sewing room..
The 1st is a Singer 401A,,, I have a 403A and 406A,, and now a 401A... and it sews fabulously!
OMG!, it purrs like a kitten...and I only paid $13.99 EEEKKKK! I am a happy Camper!
OmGosh,,,
and then...
A Husqvarna Emerald 183,
it has some cute embroidery stitches and ABC's pre-programed.
I paid $20.00 for it!
I found the original sales receipt tucked in the little info booklet, it was purchased 11/25/2011 at the JoAnns Fabric store in Spokane... $539.00 was what was paid for it back then.. I don't think they make it anymore.. maybe tonight I will go on-line and check it out.
Sooo,,, if you don't hear from me for a few days,, you'll know why! lol!
Oh,, and I forgot to get some yarn, like I had intended when I first went into the store! lol!

Wow! You were in the right place at the right time! What did your husband say when he saw the 2 sewing machines?

These are great finds for sure---do you actually use all your machines? I am thinking maybe you start several projects at once on different machines and sew on them when you feel like it. You must have a good husband to shop with. I had to force my husband to buy a beautiful 1940's gas range for fifty dollars in the Goodwill. Now he loves it. And oh how mad he got when I took too long to pick out my Christmas underwear on Wednesday. He doesn't know how hard it is to pick out with all the styles a sizes---very confusing to me. He is a great loner holler hubby---just don't take too long in town. Luckily I now shop on the computer and what he doesn't know won't hurt him---LOL.

HG56... Christmas underwear....HoHoHo!
Peggy, actually I live on the outskirts if Medical Lake, just up the toad from the Air Force Base. But I use the Post Office in Airway Heights as a mailing addy as it is closer then the one in Medical Lake.
oh and FYI, the old Bowling Ally has been closed down for a good 12+ years, in fact it got bulldozed this last year.
Krista... yep, I never worry about having another excuse yo go shopping! Lol!

Grace, that Singer is exactly like mine that I inherited from my Mom. It was made in 1957 and I still have the owners manual too. This machine can do WAY MORE than I will ever be able to use , but my Mom made use of all of the possibilities. I can't speak to any other machine, but I learned on this one and aside from a machine gifted to me from Sears back in 1973, it is my favorite. I love that yours looks like new! What a great deal you came across while looking for some yarn for crocheting!!

Grace---yes holiday underwear---I thought almost everyone gets new underwear for Christmas. Hubby didn't get his this year because he was to lazy to pick them out at Sam's and I didn't get to go there. And underwear is always picked over at Christmas---maybe a dumb idea after all---LOL
