Wash day Blues - Tag Tuesday

This weeks theme over at
is...
"Spring Cleaning"
I was inspired by one of Carolyn's prompts...
"washing blowing on the line"
It made me think about .....
the simple satisfying pleasure
of the fresh smell of clean sheets
 that have been air dried
on a lovely sunny breezy spring day :)
-oOo-
I knew I had the image that I wanted to use on my tag ...
I just adore the (above) vintage image of the little girl hanging out her washing (from Land of |Enchantment), so I printed it on to some fabric....
...and added it to a clothing price tag from one of my boys T-Shirts...
...along with some lace, buttons, washing care label, mini peg embellies, Tim Holtz laundry pin and ticket...
...then I made a little lacy vest and bloomers set to hang on the washing line! ...
Enjoy the Spring Cleaning !!!!
Thanks for peeking!

Oh my dear Jan
I adore everything about your wonderful Wash Day tag...just brilliant!

Laundry is one of the household chores that I enjoy very much and there is nothing better than fresh dried linens and clothes smelling of sunshine +

mmmmmm, I love the smell of washing dried on the line, so much better than when it's been tumble dried. Your little line is lovely - cute little knickers! Sweet nostalgic tag - thank goodness for washing machines though, eh?!
