The 1896 "Three Spindle" slot machine, manufactured by Charles Fey of
San
Francisco, aka "The Thomas Edison of
Slot Machines". (A designation that,
frankly, cracked me up.)
Fey started manufacturing slot
machines in 1894.
On exhibit with a bunch of other really
cool and curious antique slots at the
Nevada State Museum in Carson City.

i ran out of yardage for haruni shawl. so i gotta spin some more. hopefully 1 oz should cover the last 4 rows plus bind off.
My rather slap-dash spindles. The larger one turns out to be a bit too heavy to be practical.
The cop on the smaller spindle is a ping pong ball sized ball of worsted that I unplied and then joined the plies end to end while adding more twist to make one long single. I'll be Andean plying that once the twist has rested a bit.

Auto Art in Chicago area. Called "Spindle" it's in the Cermak Plaza in the Berwyn suburb. Check out the skinned Pinto as well while you are there.
What an amazing plant this is - the common old European spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus).
I'm a big fan of the foreign species - planipes, bungeanus, cornutus and especially alatus but frankly our native species is equal to any of them.
The only problem as far as I can see is that it doesn't look like anything much for the rest of the year. It's not obtrusive or ugly though so easy to hide among the other plants until it steps forward and does it's thing in September.
