We just sort of refurbished out basement, but not really) And on Friday I thought, you know, I want a Christmas tree down here. So I went to goodwill and although I've never found a Christmas tree there before, there WAS one there on Friday for $7.00!!! Makes it very homey down there now...tender mercies!Jocelyn Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342635172904848811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10972553.post-88833753249329269662010-11-22T06:34:01.871-08:002010-11-22T06:34:01.871-08:00Wow, you got so lucky!!Wow, you got so lucky!!Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629260463040101616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10972553.post-15734961055538001892010-11-21T15:17:53.236-08:002010-11-21T15:17:53.236-08:00We have one.

Brought home from Germany years and years ago by Dave's parents and we inherited it (along with a coocoo clock).<br />My parents have one too, I don't know if they brought it home from Germany or if they found it at an import shop someplace in Seattle... <br />I'm a little surprised you found one at a thrift store, but I guess there are people who don't appreciate them for how cool they are, or who get really tired of storing them...they ARE kinda big and fragile.

I even used it, because when our electric machine broke it was all I had. The treadling was kind of fun and it was easier to control the speed of your stitching.Margo Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145544229038371044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10972553.post-18611530622639330452010-11-19T23:14:40.101-08:002010-11-19T23:14:40.101-08:00That's awesome!
