Not sure if this is the right place. Look what I bought at the week-end. We own old cars and went to Toowoomba to a swap meet. 1750 sites, quite a large swap. I could not resist getting this music box. When you open the front top drawer it plays music, the wheel turns, the cotton reel spins, the needle part goes up and down and the foot treadle goes. Yes, there is heaps there to keep the women happy. (Not all car parts). Hugs Marg

Oh, Marg, your music box is lovely! Took me back - I learned to sew on my Grandmother's treadle machine.

I learned to sew on an old treadle machine too. An elderly neighbor lady taught me when I was just a youngster. If she could see the machines that I have now she would certainly be amazed.

We have Richard's grandmothers old singer treadle sewing machine. I have had it restored. hugs Marg

My first car was a 1967 Mustang. Wish I still had it.

mranderson by mranderson 11 Feb 2015

We have a 1928 A Model Ford, a 1963 falcon convertible (was LH drive) and a 1965 Mustang Convertible (was LH drive). The falcon and the mustang are red, as we all know red cars go faster. hugs Marg

toogie by toogie 11 Feb 2015

Marg, I don't know how true about red going faster, but I know the red Camaro's my sister had, sure attracted the cops!-lol- of course she was born with a heavy foot too-

toogie by toogie 11 Feb 2015

ps forgot to say, my boyfriend sometimes picked me up in a 1965 Mustang. It was black top, over white body. I later married him...even though it was his sisters car-lol
