Around the House

I don't know why, but having a clothesline is really important to me. I guess because my mom has always had one and I have especially good memories associated with it for some reason.

We have a regular one in our basement but don't have the room for it in our current backyard (still in the box). SO, Ed recently put one up that goes between the trees in our backyard. Last night was the first time I used it and it was awesome! Jeans that usually take a day and a half to dry on the drying rack, took 1 1/2 hours outside (it WAS really windy).

And here's our new kitchen curtains! I probably wouldn't have picked the material out by itself, but I think they go well with our red kitchen island/yellow walls and the brown and white polka dot curtains in our dining room.
