She used an old glass 7-Up bottle with a cap that had holes in it. She would sprinkle each dress or shirt, roll it up and put it in a straw laundry basket. Each piece, when taken out for ironing, was lightly damp and ready to be pressed.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693598787241469220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-64899109833712267622008-09-28T17:07:00.000-06:002008-09-28T17:07:00.000-06:00I enjoyed your idea of pink. you would think as fl...I enjoyed your idea of pink. you would think as flashy and girly as I am pink would be a favorite of mine..opps it isn't,but they way you add touches makes it nice.<BR/>Thanks for you sweet words and Im so happy for a sweet lady like you to be there for this co-worker.
