Feels kind of strange to remember something so well - my grandma did washing/ironing for a living. There was always rolled up clothes in a plastic bag sitting in her fridge waiting for ironing! My grandchildren only know what an iron is because I use it for piecing :)

I have one, I have it in an old Lemonette bottle. And I use to use it too! My mother had one, as did my Oma's and Aunties. Oh the times have changed, I now just lightly mist my fabric with a spray bottle of lavender water. Smells so good and does a nice job.

I've been looking for one of those!!!!!

Does anyone know where to buy one or if a company has come out with something similar?

Boy did they ever bring back memories of my mom on Tuesday, which was the day she ironed (Monday being washday, of course)...

I have used them many times. It was the only fun thing about ironing. Ug, do I remember the starched shirts. Boy has fabric changed and am I glad.

I had a skirt just like a poodle skirt but mine had a picture of Elvis on it.

Are you kidding. I still have my sprinkler bottle and it really comes in handy now and then. I also remember having to iron everything - no poleyster, no blends - everything was cotton, even my husbands work pants and shirts. I remember putting the pants on stretchers which was a big help and made the pants look great. I really don't miss that experience at all. I also remember no TV, microwave, dishwasher, 1-car households, no computers, no cell phones, when most mothers did not work outside the home, etc. etc. Guess I'm really giving my age away. Still, there's a lot to be said for those days when life was not on such a fast track and everyday life was not so hectic and dysfunctional.

Speaking of starched shirts..... My husband wore white dress shirts to work everyday. I remember removing the collars and cuffs and turning them around when they got frayed and sewing them back on again so he could get another couple yrs wear out of them. The shirt makers must have gotten wind of this because they started putting stays under the collars. I was overjoyed.
