@Elnnina Sounds like you are on your way to the treadle. Mine was gifted to me by MIL best friend Flo
We just call it Flo's treadle and she was so pleased to give it to someone that would love it. I believe her mum bought it new! From memory it was from 1879, but that could be wrong, my memory not as good as yours lol
You have reminded me of the one handcrank I kept, the first I bought, which is a Kohl and very beautiful (apparently I didn't give away as many as I thought now I am thinking about it!).
My grandsons have been lifesavers to me during covid. Lucky enough to live near them and be in a childcare bubble. I didn't see my daughter other than official handover of children, but collected them from school once a week while she was at work
Strangely, I live near the Suffolk border lol, little town of Watton which is just north of Thetford. It even has it's own little sewing/craft shop, so not complaining.
I may have, slightly, got carried away when DH was incapable of arguing with my decorating choice, my living room has a huge dragon painted on the wall
and my kitchen I call my Unicorn kitchen as it is sparkly lilac.
I'm not sure how long I will get away with the weird decorating choices, but he isn't arguing with any of it yet.
He has just bought some furniture and 'things' to complete my little sewing area, I believe he is hoping to get me out of the way for a while, his plan may just work
