well, you have posted a nice story here. The Accompanying photo is very nice too.

It is sharp, and clear. The vigenette adds nicely to the scene.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot!
This is truly interesting. Your notes is a story teller, but the shot itself is borderline. I like what I see though. The oil and can on top does have a little story to tell. Anyhow it is an interesting photograph.

Very interesting story. Equally interesting is the image. The middle name for Singer is the quality. These are very popular in India too. This is a really nice picture showing the accessories that go with the machine. And the rose bunch says it all. Good shot.

Good story. Like the faded edging. Lighting, colors and details are nice. Nice presentation and am sure lots of stories could be told with these antiques. I've sewn with one; now have a Singer from one bought for my mom in 1958. It still purrs like a kitten. 'Enjoyed.

Comment from mamamary
This looks like alot of work from long ago. The picture is framed very nicely. I like the blur you used. The colors are nicely combined. Thank God for electricity, though.

I love your story and photo. The composition is good and lighting perfect for what you are doing. I love the vignette, perfect. The othee bits of nostalgia are good too although seeing the oil tin on that beautiful wood without anything under it makes me want to snatch it off before it makes a mark. LOL Very nice.
