My personal rule (in case you haven't figured it out) is "never turn down a free sewing machine." This Singer 66 (1930ish) must have looked to passersby like a boring old end table in the rain today, but I knew by the extra folded-in leaf that there was a treasure inside. Just look at those nearly-perfect Red Eye decals. The wiring is totally shot, so I may convert it to a handcrank someday. For now, it will have to linger with my many, many other pending projects.

New profile pic. I rescued this Kennie from the curb last summer. She had a mouse nest inside her. I think something critical got corroded because I still haven't been able to get her fully functional. I take her out and poke around once in awhile and then push her back to the back of my desk. Sigh.

Grabbed #4Blondes by #candacebushnell from a box of books. Who doesn’t love #sexandthecity? When I got home I noticed it’s signed by her and it’s going for $45 on eBay! 📕 Hope it’s good! #freestuff #curbfind #curbshopping #stoopingtoronto https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWs4kaOInR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
