Good to hear from you, JennieG!
I still have my Grandmother's Singer treadle (with receipt) from the early 1920s, sadly stuck in a container and hopefully not rusted away yet. I'd love to have it accessible in my shack, but I'll have to chuck out lots of other stuff first, haha, like "too many" books :)
My Uke is here in the shack, but unplayed - and buried somewhere :(
I am still hoping to get back to posting to the Australia-NewZealand Songs thread - one day!!!

..... sigh .....

Our days in the Sunshine Coast hinterland are promising to warm up (with one day this week forecast at 32*) but the nights (and my shack) are still chilly. Still, this has been the warmest winter for years that I can remember, with far less firewood purchased than last year!!
As long as bushfires don't come roaring up the valley this summer, I will cope with it all :)

Cheers!
