MY 'BARN SALE' FIND!! Need help give "her" a name.
Yesterday, we went to pick my husband's new suit (he outgrew his work suits since he retired), and we passed a barn sale sign at an old farm. We turned around and pulled in around buildings and fields and parked between rusty old farm "stuff". There was a huge barn set up like a professional seller, but old, dusty etc. (I complained to my DH - another "man sale").
There were alot of pickers, grabbing old toys, tools, and such, so I went over to the china bits and pieces tables (around 10 of them), and found this little beauty. It is a singer sew handy, in the original box. I spoke to the farmer, it was his kid's machine, and I bought it - for $20!!!!
The pickers gave me a nasty look as I proudly carried her to the truck. Now, I need help naming her. I was thinking of Dell (as in Farmer in the Dell). Any suggestions.
