wash day ~

wash day - preparing

washing crochet doilies

Yesterday we had wash day ~ finding a stack of hand crocheted doilies passed down from my grandmother and great-aunt in need of washing, we decided it was a good and sunny day to do a little hand washing outside.

Not only a good gardener, Elise is also a fantastic washer and really loves to help out in any way . . . making toast or waffles for breakfast . . . helping with putting clothes in the washer and dryer . . . how lucky could I be right?

bedside

Lucky enough to look over at my bedside and see something reminding us of our morning, working together, and also thinking about the hands who worked this beautiful piece of cotton that years later we are still enjoying taking care of and using.
