    How about "Flower Girl"?

    CD in Oklahoma
    I like Flower Girl and I will consider it. Thanks
    Glenn
    She's a little old to be called 'flower child' but maybe she was ahead of her time..

    Oh, I LOVE that table!! But :cry: I don't have another inch of space in my sewing room. No, not even 1/2 inch!!! :cry:
    Did you notice that the seller thinks a FW can be used with that table with just a bit of tweaking? :roll:
    Maybe by taking the whole top off??? LOL Some people have very creative imaginations!! LOL

    Sharon, I noticed what the ad said! I guess those sellers just think we are all pretty gullible!

    Oh, and my offer got turned down!

    Nancy

    A Singer 66-16 from the 50s! Good model! The reverse levers are all white on that model, although sometimes they’re so grungy that it’s hard to tell.

    I was going to guess a Singer 15-91 Centennial. The handle on top of the BW case is common for 1950s machines.

    Good snag.

    CD in Oklahoma
    She was a bit grungy with second hand smoke and she has a bit of rust but not bad. Cleaned up good. The white lever isn't too bad now and the decals are decent - a few good scrapes on the deck though. I have yet to clean her bobbin area and oil her - I'm tired. Motor sounds good - no smoke - not loud. Thanks for the info - I should look up her number. It's AL455976

    Top two photos Bay Area
    Bottom photo Sacramento

    Just the difference is the cabinets and one machine still says W&W.
    Both beauties!!

    For the white flowers on the machine, you could name her:
    Fiona, meaning white or fair.

    For the blue flowers on the machine, you could name her:
    Blue Bell, constancy, never-ending-love
    Periwinkle, beginning of friendship
    Veronica, fidelity

    Or Glenn, you could call her Myosotis sylvatica, since the blue flowers look like Forget-me-not.

    Forget-me-not, true love, memories, hope.

    Maybe Sylvia for short.
