Look what we got this week ... A handy, dandy how-to DIY guide from Connie McCaffery (naturemaiden, Sister #673): How to Select, Service, Repair & Maintain Your Vintage Sewing Machine.
Thanks so much, Connie! It looks like a great book, and it will sure come in handy with all the vintage machines we have here at the farm.
Read more about it and order your very own copy here:

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming 'WOO HOO, what a ride!'"

Sara,
I purchased our copy here using the link Connie provided:
http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=67658
We're excited to keep this handy and are just so very impressed with the quality of the advice and the gumption it took for Connie to put her knowledge into a book for helping farmgirls everywhere. What's your next how-to book going to be Connie??????

Thanks MaryJane for Connie's info. I know you will put her book to good use.
Even when I purchase something for myself I always feel like it is a gift when I get it. There's just something about getting it through the mail that makes the ordinary feel special.

I wish I had a vintage machine. It is on my bucket list to find one day and when I find one, I will get a copy of this handy book with Connie's expertise to help me!

What a wonderful gift. That book looks great. I have my grandmother's treadle which I learned on and the instruction book was still in the drawer.
