Abbey Needs No Ironing


Hooray! We have a bag. Must mean that someone needed a break from.... the other nasty stuff she was doing.


Full of wonderfulness it is. The fringey bit on the bottom is from one of those weird decorative blanket horrers that we hung on our rec room walls in the 70's. There are two types of chennille blanket, an apron, some fabric from lettuce, a necktie, and a buckle from my "Morris connection".
And my clean headed daughter is a sight too; is she not?!


That brown section is from Morris as well. The woman has a talent, and I do appreciate it. (a volunteer who has "back stage passes", which means she has access to the donations as they come in. She sets aside some upholstery pieces, zippers, buckles and buttons for the project. What a gift)

See? What'd I tell you- Abbey Needs No Ironing.
Bag measures 11 by 15 inches. The necktie strap is adjustable by cinching up that funky morris buckle.
Offers until 8 pm, cst.

oh, its good to be back. I think I have between ten and fifteen YARD bags full of clean laundry.
And the kids heads are clean. And my head is clean. And I'm not divorced. And I didn't give any offspring away to more loving homes.

Yes, indeedy. tomorrow is my birthday and I will be 41. I'm ticked because I have had NO TIME to plan something fun for myself.

Kelli- welcome. I totally relate to your unaffordability factor. I feel the same way! Its a pickle, isn't it, when the cause it worth it... but one is limited by having chosen to marry for love instead of money?!
