Well I had no idea!!

So back when I spotted this little Featherweight 221J at the thrift shop and brought it home for $11, I knew it was one of those "thrift store moments" that I would always remember.  However, I really had NO idea what I had found until I took my sweet little machine to have a tune up the other day.  The lady behind the counter audibly gasped and instantly began gushing over it.  Another woman came over and they started talking about how much they love their Featherweights... and noted that they had never seen one this color.  When I told them what I paid for it, their jaws dropped.  When I explained that I was teaching my almost 8 year old daughter how to sew on it, their eyes sparkled!  I was walking on clouds when I left the shop.  When I picked it up the next day, it happened again... only this time four customers joined in on the gushing.  I was practically blushing by the time I left! 

As soon as I got home, my daughter and I started working on a little project together.  It was so nice to be stitching again with my girl and with this old (adorable) machine (who I loved even before I realized just how "valuable" she was!!).  This little Featherweight does sew like an absolute dream... and most importantly, my girl loves her dearly.  And that is absolutely priceless!!
