We are on a waiting list for a home in a local retirement community and waiting is certainly descriptive since we have been doing that for nearly 3 years! At least with no hurry, it gives me a chance to take a very close look at what will go with us and what won't.
While I have a wonderful sewing room in this house and I have loved being able to close the door when necessary, it will not translate to the new place when it finally happens. I do happen to be the messiest sewer around, with projects everywhere in various stages of completion. More than likely, when we finally move, my sewing will consist of mending and maybe an occasional project which will require the machine to disappear when it isn't actually being used.
So, I am posting pictures of some of my favorite sewing things I have collected over the years - an antique sewing bird, complete with both original pincushions.
This sweet pincushion/thread holder with what looks to be the original pincushion.
An old child sewing machine
If you would have an interest in any of these or would like better pictures (especially of the sewing machine, just let me know (mamurray1120@gmail.com) The price on the sewing bird is $100, the thread holder/pincushion and sewing machine are each $50. Shipping would be extra on each of them but probably wouldn't be much.
Utilitarian things are already going away but I'm not seeing much space cleared yet!
