Earlier this week I had a phone call from a friend of a friend. She had a Davis for sale. It was only 25 miles away. Today I went to look at it and well, another machine came home with me.
I have noticed that when I decide that I want a machine, that machine pops up with in weeks usually. Is it Magic? The same thing happened with the Singer 31-15. Last December I decided I wanted a heavier duty machine, preferably a treadle. By January I had the 31-15 at home.
Of course, this phenomenon is not so mysterious with machines that are abundant. The Singer 66 with the Lotus decal was another "magical appearance." But, oddly enough, I have not seen many Lotus decals since I found mine. I wish I could. I want one that is nicer. There, now maybe one will pop up.
Does wishing one to appear really work? I'll have to try that!!! I'd like a Lotus too. Sew pretty!
ReplyDeleteI always say that the vintage ladies and gents have a way of finding their new steward. Congrats on that pretty Davis! Vertical Feeds are fun machines.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a Lotus too. Hope this works. I only have 4 machines and only two are vintage. Mom has a FW in the closet that I have my eye on. Am I crazy for wanting an old handcrank machine? Wait, don't answer that.
