Handwashing Day


Hand washing some of my thrift store finds and successful bids at auction houses.
2 fine wool shawls, one with beautiful, woven, floral border



Wool blanket - well used but laundered carefully over its life time so no sign of fulling.



Piece of old silk velvet in blue and gold - a little fragile but washed up well.



A friend found this treasure for me at a garage sale - a heavily metal embroidered, Indian made evening purse.



It was rejuvenated after a light vacuum and spot clean.
It is now in my closet because I'm going to enjoy using if for awhile.
