Here she is! Wasn't really looking for one but came across it on my way home from somewhere at a garage sale. I used to look for a nice cabinet to drop my my Kenmore in but when it died so did my search. I already had a New Home w/cabinet so have been using that one. The wear is where the fabric rubbed from lots of use. There is about 20 bobbins w/different colored thread so it was someone who was pretty active. 1910, 6 drawers instead of normal 2 or 4....all half separate locks...and key fits all. What are the odds of even having a key? The belt is off but not sure if anything is wrong with it. They are readily available at Montavilla Sewing so there must be a decent demand for them. I only got it about half refinished and will quit for a while. Love it and can't wait to get it working!!

I have only recently started going to sales again and it is surprising what I am turning up, even late in the day. I went to the bank 20 blocks away last week and stopped at 10 sales on the way so you have an idea what is going on with the Portland economy. Unfortunately, my plan was to only buy fabric that is needed to finish projects but have have buying bargains that are only in my "need" mentality.
