Vintage Laundry Drying Rack

I love vintage.

But I don't love laundry.

However, I do love my new vintage laundry drying rack.

 
...just think of all the things you could display on this sweet thang...

 
 
 
Endless possibilities...

...balloons for a celebration, little doll dresses, drying artwork, hangtags, if your children are little-their artwork, inspirational quotes, drying flowers, or I guess you could even use it for its intended purpose.

If I were wise, I would clip matching envelopes to each clothespin. Inside each envelope would be "something" I've been putting off for too long. Each day I would force myself choose one envelope and force myself happily complete that task.

 
 These are the kinds of finds that I love to drag home with me.

 
Not something I was looking for necessarily...it just caught my eye. Something nostalgic about it...a throw back to the times when people actually {gasp!} washed lingerie by hand. Can you imagine?!

Xo, Sue

p.s. On a more somber note, my heart and prayers go out to all who have suffered loss during this latest rash of deadly storms here in the U.S. May their be an outpouring of love and support...

Thanks Sue............makes me want to do laundry:0 That is a miracle. And Yes, prayers for hearts full and emptied by the devastation of our neighbors. Even living far away we can understand loss, and hopfully renewal. Sending a hug for your sweet pics here, Sweet Sue! XOXO

Sue, those hankies bring back a ton of lovely memories. When I was a child, my grandmother used a hankie all of the time. It was always tucked in a pocket ready at a moment's notice, and the "pretty" hankies (lace edge ones) were 'saved' for church on Sunday! Hugs, Terri xoxo

Your beautiful hankies caught my eye, and the little shoe, love the drying thingy too :) I must admit when it comes to my vintage linens I don't mind washing and ironing them, maybe because it's some things I really love LOL.. the other laundry is always a chore.

I have always enjoyed doing laundry...it is one of the things I start and finish very well it seems!
Now having a nifty and pretty hanger like that!
Love your inspiration...all ways!
I have been toying with a hankie post idea...just so happens they always jump out at me when I'm out and about at the junk shoppes too ;)
AND I have a pair of button up baby shoes like the one you showed too...

News of the loss and devastation in MO is more than heartbreaking...no words on that sadly

Brightest of Blessings to you and yours sweet Sue
