I have seen one made by the mennonites here that looks like a little girls dress. Where the apron begins is where you put the pins in so it looks like the pins are in her apron.
Next time I go down to the Dutchman's store Iwill take a picture so you can see it. They are really cute!

I have had a clothesline for years. Wouldn't be without one. Only use
my dryer when I have too.

I use my clothes line all the time! I did three loads today with towels waiting for tomorrow!

In the winter we use a dryer rack in front of our coal stove. I fact I just got a new one! It will hold about twice the size load my old one held. Yes, I'm about the only one in the neighbor hood with a clothes line, it was the first thing we put up when we moved here :-)

I was noticing today as I drove home from work just how many people had cloths hanging out on their lines today, There were a lot! I was driving out in the country and it seemed almost every other house had clothslines and cloths hanging out.It is good to see!

When my sister moved to Australia in the early 1990's, their first house was brand-spankin'-new....and had a brand-spankin'-new clothesline out back! :D

I've got one of those too - i use it for socks. Socks drive me mad and I'll be glad when we start wearing sandals - with 4 of us, that's 56 socks per week! :(

Mine hangs on the twirly thing, under an overhang of the barn roof so stays dry, but I bring it in in winter!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Chain knickers - is that like chain letters!
