She looks like she could be a friend and love the slippers...just curious how much did she sell them for?

GailG I agree so very much. What a sweet and lovely smile. And the plant behind her is gorgeous. She not only has a deep kindness about her and can sew, she also has a green thumb. Beautiful in many ways. Thanks for sharing.

The price of the slippers was 100 lei which is about $33 USD. A good price for handmade wool slippers!

I agree with GailG. Had to look at all the pictures of her again. Don't know about the machine.

What a sweet smile she has. I love all the beautiful, colorful things behind her.

Great pictures and all the plants she has around here says a lot about her love of pretty things. I would love a pair of the slippers. Her machine and table appear to be used a lot. And to think we covet the high end machines! Thanks for sharing.

You may be surprised at how many people have a $2,000.00 sewing machine in the sewing room, and sew on an old treadle from the early 1900's, even 1800's. I have two old ones that I love to use. A Featherweight from 1951 and a Singer 128 from 1924. I have sewn on a treadle in my high school days, and would love to have one. I have my eye on one.

Also, notice where her thread comes from. She has a large cone sitting on the floor.

Beautiful lady in a beautiful photograph!! But it makes me think how blessed I am that I don't have to spin my own wool and make slippers, hats, etc to sell. Work is work. I am grateful for all I have. She has a wonderful smile and beautiful blue eyes and great pride in her work. Thanks for sharing your vacation pics!

I agree with the other ladies - her smile and kind eyes got my attention. She looks like a very kind, caring soul. She must be doing what she loves.
