Vintage Laundry bag pillow 06/26/09
I purchased this vintage blue satin laundry bag for a dime. I brought it home, put it through the washer and stuffed it with an old bed pillow. It has a drawstring opening so I just stretched it open, kept the string inside and hand stitched it closed. It is embroidered with "Laundry" and has the most feminine ruffle all the way around. How do you like it?
The pink satin pillow was a .50 find last year. I got two similar larger ones that are just as pretty.
Do you know what this is? Besides being a mulberry tree, it is a sure sign of summer's arrival. My neighbor's tree is FULL of the tasty black berries and she has given me free reign to any fruit from her trees. (She also has a pear tree and some grape vines!) I can't understand why no one ever makes mulberry jelly or why they don't sell them in the stores like they do raspberries, etc? They are SO good!
All those little black spot are berries! See Mr. Squirrel sitting on the branch in the middle? He is STUFFING his face!
Even though it's in the 90's here, I sure thank God for summer!
