These are a few of my favorite friends from the summer garden,they pop up all over added their smiley face to my landscape! We need a bit of color today as it is snowy, and gloomy outside.

Yum, also from the summer garden fresh blackberries! Just to tease you, actually we all need to eat a few of these to help our immune systems gear up before the flu hits!!!

The newest addition to the Perry sewing clan! A 95-1 industrial Singer, Gaspar, named after the man that owned him....a fun story as it was in a pts/friends home hidden and not very loved :( and she wanted it to go to another home... yippee for me! :) My Dad has already been showing Gaspar some love, Mom hand cranked the wheel so we could see it sew! It is a beauty, just needs some electrical work and a belt and this guy will be humming once again! The original Gaspar had been a Tailor in the city, and at West Point I think maybe during the 40's Wow what  history this guy has experienced! Imagine!

He is big and hefty when asking my DH how much he thought it weighed.......ALOT!!!!!

The goodies in the drawer!!! My favorite part! Labels with Gaspars name on them, barber sissors, Maybe he cut hair on his breaks!!!! and loads and loads of 88x1 #16 needles for the machine!

 An update of the uncovering of Faith the red eye, her decals are beautiful and slowly becoming revealed!, Thanks to Turtle wax ter and bug remover, be careful as it will take off the decals on some of the pre 1900's machines!
