Did anyone miss the Carnival of Modern Home Dwelling, hosted by Today’s Homemaker, this week? It was EXCELLENT and was a giant notebook of great things you could have fun doing. I was so excited to see a couple of my own posts included. My Retro Housewife Bunco post and our article, “The Benefits of Line Drying Your Clothes,” were both included.

I got mine at a garage sale and I just can’t see paying for it retail, but my husband is insisting that we just buy one new this time. I don’t know though… I think I might check the thrift store a few times before buying one……Continue Reading
