old stuff rules

this looks like a table, right?
 wrong! well, half wrong.
  Sooo sweet! Brandon, lives in this house that used to belong to an old lady. She died awhile back, but a lot of her stuff is still there. Things like magazines, books, dishes, hats, a hospital bed, it was like a time capsule of her life for the last 40 years. I have a couple of her things, like an orange furry hat, a lamp, and some sweet t.v. trays. Anyways that was a while back, but today Brandon pulls this heavy ass table out from his closet, and there was a sewing machine inside! I've never seen anything like it, but I'm sure there are a lot of them still around. The top part of the table folds out, and underneath is where the machine is kept and you can pull it out with the press of a button! Plus the little door opens up and there's a little compartment inside that can old notions and what not.


These were in there, its the instruction manual, a card about how to thread the needle, and the warranty, but oddly enough the part that should have the date on it is blank.




And Brandon. Did you notice how neat his room is?? And the dumbbell, amp, and and those boys posters?   My room is nothing like this. I don't think I ever posted any pictures of my new sewing machine, its nothing special, the same as my old one, but just for the sake of comparing

This is my sewing area, yes a little cluttered to put it mildly, but what do you expect? it's in the kitchen (our place is 80% kitchen). Also, my machine just sits ON the table, it doesn't have a little spot within the table,  but that old one doesn't have a coffee maker or wine rack attached to it. It doesn't work either, according to Brandon, when he plugged it in it started smoking, but i still think its cool.
