I have acquired another smaller size sewing machine called "Cinderella". I found it in an antique shop last week. I had injections in my lower back today so I can't get down low enough to get a good photo and I can't lift it either. And I am home alone so this will have to do. The machine is lacking a belt for the motor but I do not think it will be a problem to replace it. We have already measured and know that it needs a 15" one. I did a search on the internet and found next to no information on the machine. I do know that it is referred to as a "1/2 size machine". We know that it works as my husband took the belt off the machine we purchased at a thrift store recently and put it on this one for a trial run. I do think I will have it serviced as it needs a good oiling. Or maybe I will just try oiling and see if the machenisms sound smoother running. The booth where we found the machine had 30% off on all the items so we got this one for $30.00. Again, I did not need a machine but I do like these smaller size ones.
For comparison, I am showing the photo of the other one I purchased recently. They are both very similar in size. The shape of the machines is different. And the Cinderella machine is more ornately decorated. With my Bernina, Pfaff, and these two small machines, I can have a sewing party at my house without guests bringing a machine if they so chose to do.
We still have company and are immensely enjoying our time with them. I am getting in some hand stitching time. Currently, I am working on the hand applique basket blocks trying to get my 20 in for the month. I think I have eleven of them done so far. I will post them soon.
Hope you have enjoyed your visit. Come back soon. I will be here!

That was a great find! Maybe someone reading this will know more about that machine.
That is really cute! I would have bought it to just to show it off.
Just tell me when to pack my bags!! LOL I'd love to be sewing on the little cinderella!!
The old machines are so beautiful to look at. I love the shape and the gold lettering and detailing.
That little machine is adorable, I would have grabbed it up too. Hope your back gets better soon.
My favorite cartoon movie has always been Cinderella. My kids have always said it was those mice sewing that did the trick. What a precious machine!!!! There's no possible way you could have left her at the store. I'm jealous....
What an adorable little beauty! You are very lucky in your shopping! :-) A sewing party sounds fun. Have a good evening and hope your back feels better soon!
I love her name too! You seem to be very lucky on your shopping....or I just don't go often enough. (bet is is me!)

Oh, I hope your back is better. What a sweet little machine. I have not ever heard of either one of those but I don't really look for them either.
What a beautiful litle machine and at a great price!
Hope you are feeling better with your back and can get to play with it soon.
Your Cinderella machine is just gorgeous, the decals look in great shape. Hope you can find a belt for her. Is your back pretty bad, Karen? I feel for you!
Looks like a very clean machine. Cinderella, what a perfect name for this little beauty.
Your Cinderella looks like a princess of a machine, Karen!
Enjoy!
Oh that cinderella machine is awesome! I never find good deals like that!
What a sweet little machine, very tiny next to your Bernina I imagine. It would be lovely to have a sew on it.
Every time I see one of these darling machines I'm so tempted. This Darling is really sweet.
It will make for a fun sew-in.
Too cute!! What a wonderful price too, I never find deals like this LOL.

Karen,
What a great find! I love your little machine. I am in Kissimmee now, for the past weeks and loving the quilt shops.
I've never heard of a Cinderella sewing machine, but it is really sweet. Great find.
What a cutie of a machine . . . . I must remember to keep my eyes out for such treasures. You always share such fun finds *s*
Ahh! You know me with the antique sewing machines, I adore them! :) Beautiful!
I was just googling to find anyone who had ones of these Cinderella machine and came across you. I found one at a local shop that a friend of mine has it was from her family and was selling so I offered to buy it and she just gave it to me. I took it to be serviced and the older gentleman said that this was a door to door salesman's machine that they would sell you this one and then let you trade up later when you were ready. I've promised mine to my Granddaughter, Ohhh what a great little machine.
