In my day....we all started about age 12 to make a trousseau, which
by definition is "the clothes, household linen, and other belongings collected by a
bride for her marriage". It was expected in my day and my Mom, Grandma and
I took it very seriously. Anyway, I embroidered these dish towels when I was
about 13 or so. And they have been safely tucked away in my cedar chest
for years!!! So I came up with a fun way to display them and enjoy them.
This is the shelf above my washer and dryer. I hung the towels and then
found some fun things to put on the shelf. An antique iron, cookbook, sifter...
some old cookie cutters from when I was a kid, and Gma Whiteheads
snap kit. I love how it turned out. Makes the laundry room happy!
Cortnie cut me vinyl to finish it off that says....
"If all our troubles were hung on the line
You'd take yours and I'd take mine."
And I found this awesome rug online for a great deal...
matches the cute dishtowels and covers up my horrible
tile in that room.... Happy Laundry Room!
