The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

I Did Not Know I Needed This Until I Saw It
And what is it?
A
1948/1949 Kenmore Rotary Sewing Machine (Model number 117.959),
cabinet, and chair. I fell in love with it once I realized the cabinet
drawers were actually the chair.
That's a wonderful old machine. I have a collection of vintage Kenmores and I'm very fond of them. My very first own machine was a Kenmore 158-14001 that Mom and Dad gave me when I graduated high school (I'm ancient). They are so sturdy, functional and dependable. And a few that I own can do almost as much as modern machines. The cabinet design is remarkable. Many years ago, my husband had one similar to that made for me - the sweetheart! It wasn't as pretty but I loved it until I was working on a huge project and sitting on the chair for a long time. My back got very sore, the seat was so hard (even with a cushion) and I kept banging the sides of my legs on it that I had to give it away. I felt so badly for hubs, but he understood. Hopefully yours is much more comfortable and it IS quite beautiful!
