    I agree with you about the scent of sheets dried on the clothesline outside. There is nothing more condusive to a good nights sleep than that smell. The house looks wonderful. Fresh and crisp.

    My FAVORITE time of year!! Nothing like the smell of freshly washed laundry hung on the line 🥰.

    One of my fondest memories is helping my grandmother take sheets down off the clothes line and smelling the wonderful fresh air smell of them.

      @robstrck8 Год назад +14

      My mom used to always hang sheets on the line, even in the winter. I remember her putting on her snow boots to take them out. They would freeze first, then dry ☺️

      And when my mom would throw the sheet over the clothesline and it doubled it, then us kids would open it up on one end and run through the sheet before it closed on us. The smell was wonderful. I wish I had room for an old fashioned clothesline.

    For some reason, watching you hang the sheets out to dry brought tears to my eyes. I too have sweet memories of hanging all of our clothes out to dry and how fresh they would smell when brought back in. Thank you for sharing that experience in your video.

    Hello Ms. Mary, 👋 Everything turned out absolutely gorgeous. I have been doing exactly the same thing in my home 🏡. For the same reason... I too am ready for Spring. We had a wave of migrating Robin in our front yard yesterday evening... a joyful harbinger of Spring. They always have been the first sign for me that Spring is just around the corner... so happy, happy 😊 Spring my friend.

    One of my favorite things about your videos is that you share special memories that always seem to stir up similar fond memories and emotions for me. I've said it several times in past comments that God has given you a very special gift, and I am so happy you share it with others in the way that you do.

    If you had asked me when I was very much younger I would miss hanging and gathering clothes and linens off the clothesline from outside, I would have laughed and poo-pooed the notion! Now that I’m older, I miss that! Thanks for the visit down Memory Lane! ❤️☀️

    I also love the smell of line dried clothes and bedding. As a child, I lived in the Amazon rainforest in southern Venezuela and would help my Mom hang out our laundry. Thanks for the reminder to get new line for our clothes line. I could hang laundry, again, this spring!

    What a great tip on using T-shirts. Love the updated colors in the living room. The moss green is so pleasing and brings a little of the outdoor feel into a room. It is still gloomy weather here in Indiana so I haven't gotten into the spring mood yet. Thanks for sharing and giving me inspiration.

    I grew up in Ohio and my earliest chore assignment was walking alongside my mother as she hung the family laundry, handing her the clothespins! I treasure the memory of time with her, chatting, and feeling the warm sunshine and soft grass on bare feet.

  • @lotus57100
    @lotus57100 Год назад +14

    I grew up with fresh clothes/bedding from outdoor clothes lines. Probably my most favorite smell. My Mother hung clothes out 12 months a year. Even in the Winter months.
    I love your Spring refresh. I especially love the colors of your home. So fresh, clean and bright.

    @yvonneschermerhorn866 Год назад

    Mary, I often made pillow covers by using just one long rectangle. You can fold that one piece, fold it ( inside facing out) into 3rds, with a bit of an overlap on one edge of the opening. That way you only had to fold " and hem the 2 end pieces. Pin the longer sides and sew them together. Turn material right side out.

    Gosh, your home is so warm n inviting. I love how you change things around during the seasons. I would love to do that but unfortunately I just don’t have the storage place to keep them. Th green pillows look so springy n I bet real soft being made out of t-shirt fabric. The mantle is so sweet with the bunnies. Very clever adding the frame cottontail story. Brings everything full circle.
    Wish I could use some more curtains especially the blue n white stripped ones. They looked so good hanging with just a bit of see through. Let’s just say I love everything you do to in your home.
    PS. I too love to hang my sheets on the line. Ohhh, how good they smell, so clean n fresh.
    😊♥️👍👍👍👍🌟

    Hi Mary. In New Zealand 80% of people hang their washing outside on a clothes line. We all have dryers but tend to use them when the weather is shocking. Thete is nothing better than fresh outdoor dried washing. Better for the environment nd making full use of the beautiful sunshine. If we are lucky enough to have the space then why not. Have a fab week.

    Hello Mary ~ We have a big cat enclosure on the 2nd floor of our home. We have pure breed Maine Coon Cats. In the enclosure we have shelves for the cats to climb up high and get their exercise in and during spring, summer and fall I hang our clothes on hangers off the shelves. It is so great, no bugs or spiders get on them ( 😁😁) because it is all screened in. You are right, the smell is divine !
    It has been unseasonably warm in central New York State also, it is nice to have the heat not running non stop and crack a window open to smell the delicious air and hear the birds. I love it! Spring and Autumn sounds are my favorite.
    Your home is so fresh looking that sometimes I think I can smell it. 💛
