Sometimes...when I am researching...for my sewing projects I run across something on the internet that I have to have. You know the kind you see and you place it in your cart for fear someone else will see it has been listed! Oh yes that kind. Last week I found one of those finds.
The Laundress...
Beautifully stitched.
Hankie at her hand.
Clean and crisp. Like it was rarely used.
This laundress has a place to be...a project that I am currently working on. Where? In my very own laundry room. Be prepared it might take a while.

Oh how sweet! I haven't heard that word in years. My sweet Grandma was a laundress at St. Mary's Hospital in Wallawalla Washington a VERY long time ago.
Oh, so cute!
Renee, I really enjoy visiting your blog and I love all those vintage illustrations of nice children. I'm a fan of old storybooks too.
Besos from Argentina! Silvina
She is adorable :)
OH That looks like it was meant to be yours Renee! She is too cute! I can't wait to see what else you do with her.

Shopping soothes the soul! Your laundress is superb!
She was just waiting for YOU!! She's perfect. Can't wait to see what you do with her. In 4 days, I'll be without internet at the cottage. I'm going to have major blogging withdrawal while away!
Well it's nice to know you've kept yourself busy girlfriend. You're such an amazing seamstress, and I'm horribly jealous about all the goodies you find. I can't wait until I'm crafting again, I hope it's soon. Thank you for the thoughts while I was down, I'm slowly coming back now. Come on over for my latest contest!
Love ya'

That little hankie-ohhhh. She is magnificent, and I can't wait to see her in her new home!
That is so wonderful! I've never seen anything like it, either - and that tiny stitched hanky? Perfection.
Oh I love it! Can't wait to see what you will do with it!
Renee, I always leave your blog until last when I am out visiting. I like to linger here and be inspired by your creativity. This laundry bag is definitely an item that would give me "gotta have" goosebumps. I look forward to cute laundry room photos.
I hope we will see your craft room again on June 14th and Where Women Create.
Have a great day! E
Love her! Love her hanky best! Have fun! ♥
So sweet, that hankie and stockings...awww!
Oh, Renee...I can see why you hurried to get it in your cart! What an adorable Laundry Bag...The cutest little laundress, for sure! Just look at those perfect stitches!
Thanks for sharing, my sweet friend!
Blessings,
