How cool1 I just came across your blog through the Etsy sellers ring...lavendar laundry soap sounds sooooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteI might be spending some etsy profits on your yummy goodies :)
Peggy, I love the photos. You make laundry sound fascinating! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool...how long does it take you to do a load?
ReplyDeleteHi Peggy! I often see your name on Tom's blog so decided to drop by and say hello. I enjoyed your post on laundry as it is one of my pleasures to make my own liquid soap, scented with lavender as well. May I ask how you make the softener? I would like to try that. One more question....we have not yet put up a clothesline and so I'm interested on how yours is built. Would you mind sharing? Thanks, and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Does that take me back to days on the farm and helping my Mom do the laundry!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful line of clothes hanging in the sweet sunshine!!! It reminds me when my grandmother did her washing and she used her wringer...thanks for this post and the wonderful photos! blessings to you ...xo
ReplyDeleteOh my, and I complain about ironing! This looks fun, did I say that?
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. I wish I could smell your clothes, I bet they smell nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the wash tub!! How long does it take you to wash the clothes and dry them?
ReplyDeleteI would love to know your recipe for soap and softener- always looking for ways of simplifying!
I also see your name on Tom's blog, and also noticed you on Emily's, so I thought I'd stop by.
God Bless!
Hmmm...a computer and a handwasher all in the same little house! Too cool! I love the smell of lavender!

ReplyDeleteWOW ~ you really are a hands on gal. I can almost smell that fresh washing down here in Oz!
ReplyDeletep.s. I have a washboard, but only as decoration...I'm amazed...You rock!
ReplyDeleteI can remember as a child seeing my grandmother wash her clothes in a old washer that stood under the porch. She had a wringer on it and a scub board. Not sure about the soap. My mom hangs out clothes in the summer, and I use to years ago when my children were small. Nothing beats the smell of fresh clothes from the line.
