Wash Day Postcard



As an advertised "estate sale" - it was a washout.
Maybe four tables full of overpriced junk that was old, on a patio outside of a touristy shop full of more overpriced junk that was new.

Then I spied the stack of old postcards.
From the early 1900's!

Like this wonderful picture card showing two ladies dressed in their Sunday finest to do the weekly laundry.

I am fascinated by the "washing machine" - complete with "agitator" and "wringer"!
The family must have been fairly affluent to afford such a newfangled device!!!

And don't you just love the barn and rail fence in the background?

Beth over at "The Best Hearts Are Crunchy" is hosting "Postcard Friendship Friday" - 
(Did you know today is Domestic Goddess Day???
 I didn't either! But this postcard is perfect!!!)
