That's all for today. I'm still unpacking and organizing. One of these days I will be sewing! ;-)

A New Beauty~
While visiting my parents, I picked up this little beauty. My Dad found it for me at a sale a while back. It is a 99K. Although it is small like a Featherweight, this one weighs a ton! It was a workhorse machine, all metal parts. (You can see why he didn't ship it to me?) :-) According to its serial number on the Singer machine dating site, it was 'born' in Scotland in 1954. The case is a bit worn, but I test drove it and it runs beautifully. I wish it could talk and tell me how it traveled to the US and its story. ;-) I'm just tickled to add it to my little collection of vintage machines. :-)

what a wonderful find....and it would be fun to know her story
Congrats on the new find and addition to your family! How many do you have now?
I've seen one of those before... and wished I would have scooped it up! What a nice home it has here in the States now!
How cute! Yes, wouldn't it be fun to know the history behind it?
Oh it is beautiful! I have a 1948 Feather Weight and I love it! This one looks gorgeous and I wish you had access to the story, it is fun to know the history. Mine was a wedding present and the owner (a dear friend) sewed on it until it was passed on to me this year! Have fun with it!
I have read before that the 99 is a workhorse. Enjoy sewing on it.
Lovely! I just bought a feather weight recently, and it sews like a dream. Have fun with your new baby.
I saw your blog on someone elses' list, your new sewing machine caught my eye! I have a 99k myself, it was born in April 1958.
I use it all the time, do all my piecing on it, even though I have another 11 sewing machines jealously looking on!, this one gets most of the attention! They are great little machines, I hope you have many years of happy sewing on your new acquisition!!!
