Sitting on a Gold Mine

Saturday we sold a machine.  A very nice Kenmore 158.1430.  It had a button hole attachment and the  manual.  Shoot, we should have copied the manual.  We have two more just like it. 
It was the nicest machine of the bunch.  We had a variety of machines to show her.  A Singer 328, a Singer 401, a Kenmore free arm, a White Class 15 end loader and a very nice Japanese class 15 clone.   All a variety of prices.  She liked this one.  So do I.  Glad I have two more....

We did well with this machine.  But we are still not "sitting on a gold mine."  We can't quit the day jobs.  But maybe now we can send in that order to Brewer Connect..... Hmmmm  I might need to edit it .  I went a bit overboard buying quilting thread.....and scissors.....  I was trying to get free shipping, honest.  I mean don't we really need those scissors and that thread?

  1. is the brewer connect your favorite place to order? I just found a place called Wawak and their thread prices were good! Nice Kenmore!

  3. Too funny...yes... it's tempting to buy lots of new scissors.... but how many can we use at one time? (Something my mom always told me!) I just make sure that my Gingers are sharp and I'm good to go... then again I have a couple pair of Fiskers and another pair of the softouch Fishkers... hmm couple pairs of pinks... not counting snips... O.K. scratch what I said b/4... Go For It! I do like that Kenmore though.
