This is a hand crank "Little Modiste" sewing machine, complete with the table clamp.
It is marked:
Casige
Made in Germany
British Zone
It is in great condition, the little wooden knob on the wheel looks hardly used.

The box contains pins - hair and two colors of straight pins.
Each pin was individually inserted into the paper roll which was then rolled with the black pins in the center.
The hair pins are in four sizes, the smallest size is empty.
We also went to Taos, New Mexico.
Definitely a place to get back to for a longer trip.
There are beautiful art galleries filled with woven rugs, pottery, jewelry and paintings.
Not too many quilts. One of the galleries with Henri Matisse works also had an Amish wool doll quilt. Thinking back, I wish I had asked to see it closer...next time.
For my foodie friends -
We had great food!
Chile Relleno en Nogada
It is a dish served in the area for celebrations.
Roasted poblano pepper stuffed with beef, apple, raisins, onion, tomato and seasoning. The sauce is brandy cream sauce with pecans, garnished with pomegranate seeds and cilantro.
Since we were celebrating of course we had to order it!

Taos is mine and my hubby's favorite place to visit.We were there plus Santa Fe and Albuquerque for the last week in May. I posted photos and descriptions of that trip on my blog in early June. I'm ready to go back.
ReplyDeleteusually my world is full of BIG blue skies but the past few days have been a bit cloudy and some (not much) rain has fallen. it's been lovely to have it cool off a bit.
ReplyDeletethat tiny sewing machine is so sweet~!!~ i have a tiny red one but it's a bit more used than yours appears to be. this little blue one is a great find indeed~!

ReplyDeleteYou are really getting around. My last trip to New Mexico was when I was a teenager. And in my two visits to the state of New York, I have never been to THE city.
what great treasures. I have a little blue sewing machine, very similar.
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks yummy!
Wow - I knew you were traveling but didn't realize how far you were venturing out! Cute little machine and your celebration meal looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteGreat little machine. Your Summer travel sure sound like fun. I agree about Taos.
