Picked Up My 'New' Old Sewing Machine Cabinet

My daughter helped me pick up my $10 deal of the day last night.  We had good directions but I guess I'm not a good 'co-pilot' because we missed a turn and went a few miles out of our way.  I still can't believe my good fortune.

 

The seller told me that this was purchased at an antique store many years ago and that he was told it was a 1914 model.  I don't know that for a fact though.

  

You can see the sewing machine underneath the cabinet.  I don't know if that's how this was made or if there is a 'drawer' missing that should have hidden it from view.

 

I just love the intricate wood work on the drawers.  The middle drawer is missing a knob but I'm fairly certain I can find one similar to replace it. 

  

The photo does not do the side justice.  The detail is really pretty. 

  

As you can see there are several 'chips' marking the top 

  

  

The sewing machine inside the cabinet 

  

I don't have a clue if the sewing machine works.  Even if it did, there is no manual.  But I really only wanted the cabinet to set my own sewing machine on, so it really doesn't matter to me if it works. 

Now I have another open spot on my craft table since I moved my sewing machine, giving me more room for crafting!  Right now the table is pretty cluttered so I need to clean up, put things away so I can get back to work!
Hope you enjoyed seeing my  newest addition to my sewing craft room!

Look What I'm Buying!!!

I 'found' this on Craigslist and the owner is anxious to sell it as she needs more space in her home.  I can't believe my luck as she only wants $10.00 for it!!!  Will be picking it up this evening.

 

It's a 1914 model Singer Sewing machine

I didn't even ask if it works lol, not for $10!!!!  But that really doesn't matter to me as my interest lays mainly in the cabinet.  I'll be putting my own sewing machine on top of it, giving me more 'space' on the table I have it on now for crafting.

  

Isn't it a beauty?!! 

I have to clear some space for it now, Lord only knows where I'm going to put the 'stuff' that's in the space already, but I WILL make room for it!

Has anyone been getting comments on their blogs that is all ?????????????'s

It's driving me crazy as I've had this on all of my personal blogs over the past few months.  The poster never has any info on themselves, and most times does not have a blog of their own.  Very annoying.  I just delete those posts but wondered if anyone else gets them too.
