We were in an antique / curios shop in Hayle recently and found two boxes of very small figures, some fifteen or so minutes later I managed to find a couple to take home. They are French cake decorations, about an inch high and the ages of the ones in the box varied from antique to modern day. Everything from French workers (baker butcher etc) to Krampus and Shrek.
I eventually found what I was looking for.
Yes, the spinner complete with distaff, I also found her twin sister :-) and another one who looks like she has a distaff and maybe an old style French spinning wheel beside her? maybe I'm completely wrong.
for reference, this is the type of wheel I'm referring to
