    Those slippers look really warm for a Minnesota winter. Also noticed the white hat with a hat band, in the background. Really nice and she looks like a really wonderful person. Thanks for sharing.

    She's a beautiful woman and I'm glad she let you photograph her.

    Your photos are so great! I love the slippers. I need those. I also love the bright textiles behind her. A refreshing little trip outside my world this morning! Thanks

    Love the slippers and I bet they are really warm. Love how other countries show the simple things in life.

    the machine doesn't have to be that old, it could be WWII era and still be a treadle. There are lots of places in Europe and Africa where electricity is an issue so modern companies are still making treadles. Our ministry, Women of Purpose International, supports some Kenya women out in their village and we bought them treadle machines made in Africa to cut down on shipping costs; more machines for our buck.
