Tuesday's Chore

"Years ago,the rhythm of the average American housewife's life was fairly standard no matter where you went. Each day had its own task, and so the work got done in a logical, orderly fashion as the week progressed. It went like this:
Monday: Wash Day



Tuesday: Ironing Day


Wednesday: Sewing Day


Thursday: Market Day


Friday: Cleaning Day


Saturday: Baking Day


Sunday: Day of Rest





Today at Loose Ends we had a special promotion.........get your ironing done for free (by Betty), while you shop. After all, it is Tuesday! Betty and I dressed like washerwomen for the event.Complete with aprons and curlers in our hair.
We had a good turnout,,,,,, And lots of fun, Betty loves to iron, she even got to press a chef's coat. Cool knot buttons on the coat!

Summer can be a slow time at a yarn shop......... this was a fun idea, and I hope there will be more.
