Nelson has a Sunday second hand market too.....
I would have bought this old Elna sewing machine ( $20 ) in a heartbeat had I been at home ,
and one can never have too many bagpipes.
Over the 6 or 7 years I have been poking around this market it seems to be changing from bric a brac to mainly second hand clothes. My other complaint is that many pitches display their goods on the ground....fine if you are just looking, but for me, if I bend over to pick up an item I can barely get up again!
However, I was very pleased with the hand smocked baby clothes I scored.
I might have been tempted to wrestle you for the Elna (but I would have let you win, because I have my precious 50's Singer and I mustn't be greedy).
ReplyDeletewell I have a 1967 Bernina!
DeleteHard to bring home a sewing machine:)
ReplyDeleteSo cute..love the color!
I still remember the old sewing basket and the spinning wheel from Levin, NZ.......and that was 5 years ago.
DeleteI hate it when you see things that you can't buy because it's too difficult to get it home - so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that there are instructions with the bagpipes!
Indeed....the 50s mid century furniture is specially good in NZ.....lots of pickings.
