Another Fabulous Etsy Seller

Can you fall in love with a new ironing board cover? I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes". I recently purchased one from City Chic Country Mouse on Etsy. They are a mother-daughter team, with the goal of making "some of your not-so-fun chores more enjoyable."

City Chic Country Mouse is home to some of the prettiest laundry essentials anywhere. I requested an ironing board cover in a fabric which wasn't currently in the shop. They answered quickly, and they got the fabric I wanted and had my new cover to me lightning fast.

Here's a peek at what's currently in their shop:

Now, don't you want to do some laundry? Or at least make your laundry room prettier?

My Clothesline

I'm doing laundry today. In between homeschooling, crafting, cooking, and all the other things that need doing in a day, I'm washing clothes. As long as I get to use my clothesline, laundry is one of my favorite chores. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for my dryer. It makes all the difference on cool, humid days here in the south when nothing will dry and it keeps that "aluminum siding" feeling away from our jeans.

But there's just nothing like hanging clothes outside to spend the day, dancing in the breeze and basking in the sun. The house smells so good when our things have been line-dried. No dryer sheet can duplicate that.

Excuse me, the washer just beeped. I have to go outside.

Wonderful, Boring Day

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I received an order yesterday from imeondesign. She makes the most beautiful cards. I'm torn though; should I send them to well loved friends or should I frame them? Aren't they great?
After taking my son to his riding lesson this morning, I came home and hung laundry out to dry. I just love the smell of line dried clothes. We then read a chapter together in Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, great story of a Revolutionary era man. He was an amazing mathematician and navigator from Salem, MA. Good family reading material.

Nothing earth shattering going on around here, but it's may favorite kind of day. Boring is good.
