ktlovelyI went to Grandville's solitary antique store with my mom today. I bought a lot of stuff.
New Home Rotary treadle sewing machine! It has all the stuff with it--feet, bobbins, attachments, etc.
A windsor-like chair. It's closest to a Windsor "comb-back" chair, as far as I can tell. However, it's period-looking enough that I'm going to take it encamping with me. Yay for chairs with backs!
Gate-leg table. So funny story--this caught my eye because it looks almost exactly like the table we had in the Langlade house at Michilimackinac--where we did all our cooking/home life demonstrations. The top looks newer, but the legs are fantastic. Easy fix: tablecloth. Done deal. As a bonus, it folds up to be less than 16" wide and fits standing in my car. Score!
I also bought a mixing bowl, a crock, and a copper kettle, but my camera died before I could take pictures.
