If you get the chance to see this musical-- It's the story of Frankie Valli-- I promise you'll love it.
We shopped, ate some great food, walked through Millienium Park. I suddenly realized we had taken very few pictures. At that exact moment... I walked upon this...
I considered it a sign....It's the first time I had ever seen a handcrank sewing machine. I kind of lusted after them. Don pointed out,"Why do I want something to just sit on a shelf...?" He's completely right, but..... There's something about them that make my heart beat a little faster...
My favorite part of the weekend...Sleeping late-- (our pups seldom allow that) and having Don bringing me coffee in bed... He told me he could have save a ton of money if that's all I wanted...(with a wink...)
Sewing time is scarce, I finally got my flowers planted and my garden is planted now.There's a ton of graduation parties to attend. I did stitch all the way down and back on our trip.
The sprinklers need to be turned off...I'll close for now....

Happy Anniversary to you and Don. Wishing you lots and lots more years of wedded bliss.
Sounds like a wonderful celebration! My little 3/4 size Singer can be run with a hand crank, but I would have to buy a kit for that. Maybe one day. But I know what you mean. There is just something so attractive about the thought of it. And I guess we could justify it that we could still sew if the electricity went out. :)
I know the feeling about those hand crank sewing machines. I used to have several. Now just one small one. I just did not have room when we down-sized for all the treadle and hand crank machines I had. Recently, on one of the blogs, a hand crank machine was being used to create a quilt.
Happy Anniversary to you all...what a great trip. Chicago is such a great place. Oh I loved the Jersey Boys...sang through the entire thing and thought maybe if I just stayed in my seat at the end of the show they'd come out and sing some more...it was wonderful!
They have one of those shops in LA just down from Cedars Sinai where my DH was in hospital. My pix didn't turn out but they had some neat machines.
Congratulations and best wishes for many more anniversaries! Glad you had a great time and were able to get away.
