I don't know about your house but my laundry room gets into a frightful state of chaotic mess very easily. It is the dumping ground not just for the filthy, but the unwanted, the broken and all of those irritating things that just need sorting.
I was working away at getting some order in there all last week and it's finally nearly there. At this point I just need to do a big cleaning and a polish. Then the descent into chaotic mess can once again resume!
It does feel good to get some linens ironed.
I have finally found a reasonable solution for my ironing water addiction which can potentially be ruinously expensive. The Laundress does a lovely ironing water that is highly concentrated, and when combined with distilled water I can get several litres out of one little bottle.
I saved my fancy glass bottles that held ironing water from France. I just fill them up with a few tablespoons of the Laundress concentrated ironing water before filling them to the top with distilled water. Voila, loads of ironing water fit for putting directly in the steam iron.
The smell is wonderful!
My neighbour Jen gave me this little plant at our Christmas block party back in December, look I haven't killed it yet:

I have had this blue and white plate since 1993. I remember exactly the day that I purchased it because Ole Rascal was a wee baby in his stroller and I came across an entire set of dishes in this pattern in a gift shop in St. John's, Newfoundland. I loved the pattern then and I still love it now.
I used to think I should try to collect this pattern but somehow having this one plate, with that memory attached to it, is just perfect.
How's your day shaping up? Did you watch the Oscars? I didn't make it past 9:00, predictable!
Hope your week starts off beautifully,
