sewing machines


I have been on a road trip these last few days to meet up with some of my smaller family members & to go to a Lynette Anderson workshop......more on that in another post.
On this trip I went to a gallery where I had heard about a exhibition of 192 treadle sewing machines! Well what is a a gal to do???? GO of course.........AMAZING!
Check out my photo's, plus please go to the link provided for more information.

These falls are on the road from Wanganui (Whanganui??) to national park.


Winding roads..... I would love to take this train trip someday.
