Yard Sale Bonanza !!

We hit a good one today!

Got 3 huge funky green glass table lamps from the 70s, 4 wooden shelves, a drop in Kenmore sewing machine with wooden cabinet, 2 wooden footstools, and a bearcat scanner- woohoo. Stopped at another and got a plus size skirt & a Titans license plate. Total spent: less than $30 :o)

The lamps will likely go on CL, maybe eBay for local PU only. The shelves will be used in our home, or put out to YS (they're nice, handmade with lock & groove, slat & groove, whatever it's called when something fits together like a puzzle- oh, tongue & groove, yeah!)

The scanner goes to Uncle Jimmy. Skirt & plate will be sold. Stools & Kenmore stay.

Which was my reason for posting tonight. In searching for a free user's manual, I encountered various boards where other folks were also seeking one. They were directed where to purchase ($10+) After wrestling with Kenmore.com for a bit, I finally got a free copy :)

Rather than join 10 boards that I'll never visit again, I'm posting the info here & maybe they'll find this blog.

If you need manual for a Kenmore 385.1782, you'll find the .pdf version for FREE at: http://www.managemyhome.com/mmh/products/ManualSearch.action?product.productName=Sewing+machine&product.brandName=KENMORE+ELITE&product.modelNumber=3851782

Happy Sewing!
