Happy sweet day to you!
How are you doing? It has been such a busy month for me with my shoppe, and I am so grateful and appreciative of my amazing and sweet customers for all their love and support of my handmade business this year. They have blessed me so!!
My shoppe is now closed for the holiday season and will be reopening in the new year. I am looking forward to relaxing and recharging for the year ahead. I still have some gifts to finish up and projects to work on for myself, so my hands are never quite resting. ;)

Well, Christmas has come a little early for me this year!! I am happy to be the new owner of my first Singer Featherweight sewing machine given to me by my lovely mother. My great grandmother gave it to her, and now she has passed it on to me which I am so excited about!
I looked up the serial number to find out what year it was made, and it was "born" on June 26, 1947. I guess they all have birthdays which is fun to know!
The detailing on the face plate and gold pin-stripping all over adds such a beautiful and special touch! They really are such amazing little machines!
So, I am completely in love with it and can't wait to oil it and start sewing away! I am beyond thrilled to have this family heirloom to treasure now.
Hope that you are doing wonderfully and enjoying the holiday season! Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me!
Wishing you a most lovely week and Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful heirloom. They were made so well compared to the new ones.
ReplyDeleteOh Heather, you couldn't ask for a more wonderful gift!! I can only imagine the images and memories that will go through your mind when you start sewing on her. You will need to play some music from the 40's and from the days when your Mom was a young woman sewing for her family and you will be transported right back! There is no better gift. Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift and so happy it is going to someone who will use and treasure it. Happy stitching!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it pretty! Love the detail in the silver plate

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely sewing machine, and so cute!! I absolutely love family heirloom treasures!! And this is so perfect for you! So neat that they have birthdays! Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week and a very Merry Christmas!! xo Holly
ReplyDeleteThat is the same Singer that my Grama had, she gave it to my Mom and I learned to sew on it too! I just love the way it hums along when you press that foot feed! What an wonderful Christmas present!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful machine! I have one almost exactly like it that I inherited when my grandmother passed away. I was surprised nobody else in the family wanted it, it is such a treasure to me, but I'm the only one that saws. Enjoy the machine and the season.
