I love to look out on the water while pegging it! Farro salads-- do you make those as well? So yummy and never get soggy. My favorite kitchen towels are organic linen with various images printed on them-- orange poppies, green ferns, blue mussels are some of the best. I have 2 drawers of linens in my kitchen alone! Had the first new potatoes from the garden tonight, some purple ones and some rose skinned yellow ones. Delicious!

It's very sensible and it's given me back my "safe happy place" feeling about my blog.<br />I can't believe your towels have held up, I'm so happy to hear that, though I think you need a refresh shipment!

It's amazing though the power of the sun on whites though isn't it, nature's bleach. <br />Gosh love your laundry room and the indoor line is such a good idea to get you through your winter. xoDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-29781985114439258982016-07-16T22:57:06.593-04:002016-07-16T22:57:06.593-04:00I've moderated from the start, mostly because ...I've moderated from the start, mostly because of inordinate amounts of spam, which I seem to get because of the interiors slant of my blog. But also because you get the odd nasty, and it does derail the comments, and they seem to thrive on the attention they get as a result. <br />I line dry everything! I rarely use the dryer. In the middle of Winter it doesn't work so well though as it takes the whole day to dry. I have a portable clothes line at the moment (can't wait to finish the garden and put in a fixed one), so I move it into a patch of sun in winter and under our veranda in Summer (the clothes fade otherwise). But I have my indoor hanging laundry maid, which works a treat for the rest of the year. I do feel like I'm constantly pegging and unpegging though!! <br />I still use your tea towels that you sent me, and think of you in Canada.
