Very nice frame, Karen, and the basket is cute too!

Thrift stores, flea markets , garage sales and Yes, peoples trash ( is another persons treasure), are my favorite places to scrounge. I have picked-up amazing finds for little or no money. I got a solid oak quilt frame, in perfect condition from a yard sale a few years back, a grandma had passed, and her kids and grandkids did'nt know what it was, nor did they care, I paid $3.00 for it. I have found hand-made dolls for as little as 50 cents, old kitchen gadgets ( which I collect) for pennies. I got a kitchenaid stand mixer with all the attachments and bowls from the late 40s in the original box in perfect working order for $2.00. I love "thrifting"

What a nice object to collect.. My sister in law has about 6 of them. I'm pretty sure that 2 are working and the other are for parts. But she says they never break down. She has never used an electric sewing machine, I think she's 46 yo.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

michelle, nope, I was trying to be good & not buy the 1st one(that Karen told me about) but broke down when I saw the 2nd one. What can I say, I am weak when it comes to machines....lol!
