I still love my Davis VF, but I'd get a NVF if I ever found one reasonably priced!

I vote for Penni! If I knew what your name was Vintagemotif, I would name my 1953 FW after you since you found that one for me! My Davis VF you found for me, I'd still call Betty. That suits her!

She did the refinishing on the cabinet (it was covered with many layers of shellac) and passed it on to me when she moved into a very small apartment. I think of her when I use it.
I wish I knew what Treadle my Mom learned to sew on. She wanted to be a fashion designer. She already had it arranged right out of high school. She had a place to stay and work as a nanny while she apprenticed in San Francisco. Then she started dating my Dad, they went out 3 times, eloped and that ended her apprenticeship. She had a boy friend that use to bring Dad with him when he (her boyfriend) visited Mom. Dad would go in and talk to Mom while she was treadling away on some dress she was designing. Her then boyfriend really liked to talk to Mom's Dad -- big mistake. I'd love to know what treadle it was. I guess, if I get enough of them I will have one like she used!

Enjoy your day, I'm off to a MLK celebration. Will probably join you guys later this evening. Enjoy playing with your old girls and sewing around.
