Wash Day Sally ...

It's hanging clothes outside weather once again.

We use our clothes line from early Spring until LATE Fall ...

Over the years, I've had very large clothes lines that stretched across the yard ... umbrella style clotheslines that spun ... "make shift" clothes lines at the cottage ...

clothes lines that told our life story at the time ...

work shirts

gardening clothes

cloth diapers

baby sleepers

dog blankets :-)

not only good for the environment...

but good for the soul ♥

as a young mum, I would have to watch for squirrels as our garden was filled with Walnut trees and the squirrels would climb a branch, grab a walnut and start to peel it. I would have a line full of lovely white flannel nappies hanging to dry and any little bit of walnut peel would stain them.

nothing like getting into bed of an evening

to the sweet smell of fresh aired sheets

or lovely air dried towels

Wash Day Sally & The Lone Sock prints are available in my shop.

Both prints hang in my own laundry room with vintage washboard, vintage iron and basket of wooden pegs ...

{might as well make the laundry room pretty too}

We should all do what,

in the long run,

gives us joy

even if it is only

picking grapes

or sorting the laundry
