I was really hoping to visit a local fall festival for my birthday, but cold, windy and rainy weather made me rethink my plans. My husband said he would do whatever I wanted with a smile on his face the whole time (meaning if I wanted to go to the mall and shop, he wouldn't complain). Not a bad offer, but I know from experience that shopping with my husband is no fun for either of us. I decided that a Jeep ride through the woods would still be pretty this time of year even if it was raining. Follow that with a nice dinner out and how could I go wrong? About half way through our adventure we passed an antique shop that was open and hubby asked if I wanted to check it out. I couldn't pass up that deal, so around we turned and in we went! Just inside the door I spotted a sewing machine case marked $45. Imagine my surprise when I opened the case and found this 1912 Singer 66 with "red eye" decals inside! There was no doubt in my mind that this machine was meant to be mine for my birthday...and so it is!
