An oak roll-top desk and antique foot-operated sewing machine

I've been very gratified to help two neighbors give away a desk and a sewing machine, both advertised on Facebook Marketplace. The desk took some 2-1/2 months but finally someone picked it up and it's not in the driveway in the weather! I sometimes walk to the end of my street and on the way back I noticed an antique in the back of a red pick-up and talked to the owner there. By the time I got home I decided to advertise it and several responded. The first one, Veronica, said she'd be right over and she agreed to let me come with her as I didn't even have the address. She saw it and wanted it but the owner was not home. She left her number with the mother and about an hour later notified me she and her husband had picked up the antique sewing machiine. Her grandmother had used one. Both of these owners had told me they were about to destroy these beautiful antiques if someone didn't take them. Yay for social media advertising!
