Almost sounds like those nice neighbors "stole" from your aunt. My sisters (she sews a lot like me) mother-in-law will be moving to a senior home. She was a professional seamstress. So we cleaned up her sewing stuff. Just to imagine, she would have given all of it away, would be make me sad.<br />Maybe shaking her like a Martini wouldn't help. How about have one to drink.<br /><br />AnnieAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022754277157237581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-35865312585380788082009-11-11T14:26:41.307-05:002009-11-11T14:26:41.307-05:00Oh maaaaaaaaaaaan. :( I'd have a hard time not...Oh maaaaaaaaaaaan. :( I'd have a hard time not shaking too.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099128922590283342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-44413467715877277972009-11-11T12:31:06.841-05:002009-11-11T12:31:06.841-05:00Now, that's sad, painful news to hear!

I did talk to her about how much that sewing machine meant to me. That didn't help. Since the neighbors aren't ex-wives maybe they will listen and respond. It's worth a try.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08501837896957263739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-50201931966832499532009-11-11T11:29:53.532-05:002009-11-11T11:29:53.532-05:00Ouch - I think we are all feeling your pain.
