Hi Gale, oh, does that sewing machine bring back memories. I learned to sew on my mom's just like that. It's a trusty little number. Your iron scrolly headboard is fabulous.Dont you just love VBF!

Great blog party!
Aren't those Singer sewing machines the best.
My grandmothers Singer is probably the best decorative thing in my study. She bought it for 25 cts during WW II.

Have a great weekend,

Oh, I'm jealous of the Featherweight - I want one so badly! I used my friend's machine for several months this year and loved it. Love the vintage baby shoe, too!
