Laundry day...

So here I am this afternoon doing my weekly chores and such... like bleaching whites and hanging them on the line...the good old fashioned way of doing things aah...I love it.


I love using my vintage ringer washer for all my soaking and bleach loads.
I bought this Queenie last year when I noticed that my new front loader was not getting my whites as white as I like. So here she is and she does such a fabulous job. Please stop by
Faded Charm to see all of the lovelies that are posted this week for White Wednesday.

  4. WOW I didn't know anyone used these anymore. Great piece! I remember doing laundry on one of these shortly after we got married at my mother-in-laws place. :)

  5. I tried to leave a comment, but don't see it so I will try again.

    Neat washer! I didn't know anyone still uses these. I used my mother-in-law's after we first got married. I have never used one before that! Oh the memories! :)

  6. I love old wringer washers. I grew up using one and we still have it and it still works! If you get a chance, check out my blog, I have a post showing my old Maytags. They really do get whites white! visiting from Faded Charm...

  9. Ha, looks like my first washer and that was only because we couldn't afford an automatic washer and dryer, so everything went on the line. Hated the towels if it wasn't windy enough-stiff as a board. I did a ton of diapers in that thing and really how white is white... :) Give me my front loader!
    I appreciate your enthusiasm...
    Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
    Blessings

  12. Hi Sheila, You really brought back the memories for me. I can remember using a washing machine like yours. I can also remember using a wash board and tub. It reminds me of my childhood on the farm. Have a great day. A Missouri Friend.
