Re: [lace] Care of fabrics - 1940s style

[Lesley Blackshaw]

Thank you for sharing that; I love reading old housewifery advice. My 
favourite snippet from a book I have is that after washing your blankets 
you should go out onto the green with a neighbour to give the blankets a 
good shake.  This appeals to me for two reasons: firstly the idea that 
we all have a green to go out to is lovely, and secondly I really like 
the concept for sharing housework with neighbours.  Work at home always 
goes better when I share tasks with my daughter.  Halves the time and 
the company is good.
