  4. Wow! They are nearly live art. I can’t go with only one as my favorite... The dog and kitten and the both put on dry clothes are impressive!

    Thanks for sharing these lovely paintings :)

  5. Susan Brabeau's, without further research, must be about the '30's, judging by the mother's shoes and dress. Washing the winter's quilts. Two quilt patterns are identifable; I like that.

    1. Hi Joanne,

      Thanks for your comment. It sounds to me like you are right on the mark. I wouldn't have thought which decade it was but I figured it was before the '40's.

  6. It looks like you're a big fan of nostagia. I love Persis Weir's calendar art and have several of his calendars.

  7. I absolutely love nostalgia and everything vintage. Persis Clayton Weir's stuff is amazing, so glad to hear you have several of his calendars. :)

  8. I like your 'washday' picture finds a lot, Linda. Have participated in both scene activities myself, you may have also. The cats seem to play whether it's play time or work time. Aw, the life of a cat.

  12. It looks like an old ACME wringer on that wash tub- I remember those as being an updated version of the old mangle in the garden of the flat where we lived when I was little - a huge, wrought iron monstrosity with enormous wooden rollers waiting to trap inquisitive fingers!

    1. Hi Jinsky,

      Thanks for sharing that. I wasn't sure the make of the washer but my mother did have a wringer washer when I was a little girl and my arm did get caught in it once. Fortunately my mother was able to release the spring and remove my arm safely. :)
