Sew... What's Up?
A few weeks ago, Dear Readers, a blogger I follow avidly, Brae of Otterine.com Blog, posted about a miniature sewing machine she had sought out, having seen one posted on yet Another blogger's blog last fall! It was Love at first sight for me! And because I had a Birthday coming along soon, I decided to see if I could find one for myself. It arrived only two days after my Birthday! I can tell you, I am even More smitten now that I can hold it in my hands! My first impression was the weight of the miniature machine... it is cast of metal... and my second impression was of the Perfection of it's tiny parts! You must understand that I Love to sew.... and when I first left home many years ago for the wide world, the first thing I purchased for myself (after a bed and a kitchen table) was an old used treadle sewing machine that had been converted to electric motor at some point in its past. Here you can see my machine.....
It is still the machine I use!
But now I have a new machine to play with!
Can you see it here?
Or Now? Can you see how perfect it is?
Of course, my old one is a Singer,
and the mini one is a Bodo Hennig, made in Germany.
Here, you must come even closer!
Even the foot lifts up and down
and the needle goes up and down when the treadle is worked!!!
The details and workmanship are just incredible!
I have not been able to resist having a little play with it...!
It seems that I am not alone, Dear Readers,
because Saturday morning as I was passing by the Conservatory I glanced in...
and I noticed that someone had decided to do some sewing.....!
I had to have a look inside....
Please, come with me....!
It's such a beautiful Morning.....
Who could resist working in here?
I have no words for the perfection of this machine...!
It makes all the rest of my furniture look so crude.....
I think it is the Finest scale miniature I have ever bought!
I found it at Weaverlili's Miniatures...
the service was friendly and fast!
And in case you missed it....
on the table are a thimble and scissors....
Tiny trinkets I purchased at the Sturbridge Fair last Summer...
And another little Trinket I purchased recently ...
this flowering hyacinth.....
because it makes me think of Spring....
still not even on the Horizon around here!
But inside the Conservatory we can Pretend it is here...
on such a Beautiful morning!
So, Dear Readers, this new Machine has raised the standard for me...
Way Way Up!
There will always be more Trinkets....
But Treasures are a New World for me!
