My Mom and Dad were big on "junking"... going to antique shops.
They used to take my brother and me with them.
We hated it.
So, when I had children, I took them to Home Depot.
They hated it.
Life. Happens. :)
The sewing machine's made by Willrox and Gibbs. In 1883.
They paid $50 for it in 1965. I was four.
I have the letters she wrote about it to her mom.
It has a gorgeous wood cover that goes over the machine. It all sits in our living room today.
I've never had an "Aunt Esther"... I just thought it was a good title.
My hubby had an "Aunt Esther". I guess that's why I thought it was a good title. :)

$50 would have been a lot at that time, I love this sewing machine.
Thanks for the back story.

Feels familiar. I have a similar table and machine and my mother's name was Esther.
