The White VS is going back on the shelf so that I can clean and oil these two and get sewing.
What a lovely day I had.

The obsession continues
I truly had wanted to stop chasing sewing machines. I am incurable. Today I drove 200 miles round trip (it isn't THAT far) to look at two machines; a Singer 15-91 and a Singer 66 Red Head. The danger with driving so far to "l@@k" at machines, is that I tend to buy them just because I went so far. Today was the exception. Oh I bought both machines, but they were in very good condition and well worth the time and fuel to fetch them. So it did not matter than I had stars in my eyes the minute I saw these machines.
These were family machines and I bought them from a very lovely family. Nancy and her three daughters are the kind of women I would love to have as friends. Lucky me that I have these machines. Ellie was Nancy's aunt and Rosie was her mom. She suggested that I name the machines and I have.

Rosie and Ellie are both lovely machines. Were they both that clean when you brought them home? I collect sewing machines. Of course the ads always say they are in good working order, but most times a machine is dirty and starving for oil.
