I walked out to the letterbox the other day to check the mail.....When I opened it I discovered a little box.
I wasn't expecting any parcels.
I've been trying to stick to my new budget, so I was racking my brain, trying to figure out whether I'd been online shopping and just forgotten!But then I turned the little box over, and discovered to my great suprise and joy, that it was a secret gift from Silly Gilly
It's a buttonhole foot for my Singer 201K that I discovered on the side of the road.I'll have to try to give it a road test on the weekend.
Thanks Silly Gilly!
Gosh, that's so sweet of Gilly. Good luck, hope it works!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic! And generous!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling. I felt like that when I got the giveaway I had forgotten about. Hubby saw the satchel and sid "What's in there" and I was racking my brain, with guilt, incase it was something I had brought!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Silly Gilly thoughful. Hope you have fun with it! :)
That is a VERY cool gift! Wow! I must have a look through your pics to see if you've got a photo posted of the Singer. We had one growing up and I remember it sitting there unused.... so dad sold it at a garage sale. Bummer. It would look so cool in my house today.
ReplyDeleteHello there, found your blog thru meetmeatmikes. What a lovely present! You are gonna make fantastic buttonholes with that. I am kinda obsessed with buttonhole attachments...I made a short film on mine actually :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm way jealous you scored a vintage machine on the side of the road!
My mum collects all that old Singer stuff. She's got some working buttonholers, but her best find has been a gathering foot which makes beautiful ruffles!
ReplyDeleteFantastic gift!
ReplyDeleteA great gift!
ReplyDeleteI have a Singer 99K with the original manual and accessory box.
I love it, and got it from my Grandmother, not the side of the road LOL :)
Hurrah for lovely crafty bloggy generosity.
ReplyDeleteWow that is wonderful , good on both of you !
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I have "I don't remember ordering that" moments too.
ReplyDeletewhat a really nice gift :D
ReplyDeletei still can't believe someone was just throwing out that machine
wow - it is amazing what people have/find and the box too!
ReplyDeleteOh there's nothing quite like a presser foot gift, to make your heart skip a beat. That will be a fabulous attachment. Silly Gilly is a good sort!
ReplyDeleteOh wow lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the power of the Blogosphere! That is a great surprise. :)
