Baba's Sewing Machine

2008.02.09
Sometimes when a loved one gives you gifts you may not want, after they are gone they become the most treasured gifts of all.






What the heck? I caught myself!

Baba in Croatian is Grandma. My Baba Eva gave me this sewing machine many years ago. This was the only sewing machine she ever owned. She had this many years b4 I was born, so I have no idea how old it is, but b4 my time is OLD.
