They don't have a lot of bells and whistles, but they are steady and dependable.

What a great gift you received - one of the blessings of service. <br /><br />Did, Mr. Coffer finish his book?

I use it currently for an entry table, and it has pride of place as you come in our home.

I learned to sew on my grandmothers treadle machine and although it was supposed to be mine when she passed. There is a not so nice story of a stepmother who sold it so she could take a trip. Water under the bridge because nothing can be done about it, but I do still miss that machine.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-78430901278130565972017-12-05T11:52:09.949-05:002017-12-05T11:52:09.949-05:00What a treasure that machine is, not just for its ...What a treasure that machine is, not just for its age, but for such lovely memories too.
