As for the devices -- they were indeed luxuries in their day!<BR/><BR/>SnS -- All things considered, I think women have benefited from modernity more than men. BTW, thinking about the exhibit, I became aware that there wasn't anything of a sewing nature on display! Thinking back on the evolution of the Singer from my childhood (a up-to-date treadle machine) to the whiz-bang jobs that sell for mere pennies, I am truly made aware of how much everything has changed.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-68252051048050661212007-11-28T16:15:00.000-07:002007-11-28T16:15:00.000-07:00Let's all go count our blessings now!!!!!

As for the kitchen gadgetry, it's quite fascinating. Then there's my memory of my grandfather making laundry soap.

We have a little green washing machine thingy in the basement. I told E we should give it to this museum. It was electric, but very small..Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10363689622473649154noreply@blogger.com
