Ready for a good laugh

This week we get to celebrate our son's 35th birthday!

What a joy to have him as our son.

Our son and his sister...yes, she is the oldest lol but only by 22 months.

Some of my favorite early childhood pictures.

Always loves a good belly laugh!

Always ready for a party!
Wish I still had this chair for our dock!

Hope you have something wonderful to celebrate this week.

1893 Sewing Machine

A very close friend has this beautiful machine sitting in her entry way. 

 The machine was given to her Grandmother. 

 It was originally owned by a woman who repaired Cilvil war uniforms.  

 It is one of the most beautiful carved and pristine machines I have ever seen.

It's date is carved on the inside lid but did not photograph well enough to share.

  I can't even imagine it's value.

The carvings are so detailed and not a single chip to be found. 

 She still own the whole instruction book although the pages are no longer together, and the original attachments in their box!

Thanks Linda for letting me share this beautiful treasure.
