Well....this is my brandy new antique wheel!!!! I am so excited about it that I could scream. My dear niece's husband brought it over after I returned from Claudia's blogger get together Sunday. My nephew's father heard that I was a spinner and gave me the wheel!!! I'll have to find a flyer, bobbins and a whorl for it, but I still love it. I am just soooooo lucky.
The other joy this week is watching my Amaryllis bloom; it helps to cure the winter doldrums for me every year. My mom and I always start forcing bulbs every January and discuss their progress. This morning she told me that she already has three blooms while I have only two blooms.

Oh what a beauty that wheel is!
nice wheel!! Just think, the worst you can do in the amaryllis race is second, not third this year :)
Oh my word. A surprise wheel! Does life get any better than that? I submit that it does not.
Gorgeous "new" wheel. How does one go about getting parts for an antique? Inquiring minds and all...
Go ahead and scream -- looks like you've got good reason!! Lovely new/old wheel.
whoohoo on the wheel! have you talked to dave paul at the merlin tree about replacing the missing bits?
I love your new wheel. Nice to meet you last Sunday!
Beautiful new wheel--I wish you much spinning happiness with it. I have my eye on that gorgeous Amaryllis you got to bloom--fabulous!
