Actually no, but do those fit on anything now?
Do have memories about the starching and ironing of family bed linens. Every now and then I will just take that time and capture it-nostalgia. For sure, I have crossed into the crazy land but I am a quilter and just love it.

Anyway, we have Magic Sizing now, easy peasy. A Happy New Year, 2011!

I remember the sprinkler tops, brown clorox bottles. I actually have TWO pull out cutting boards: they're awesome. What a stroll down memory lane.
Also remember the round foley ricer, can't make mashed potatoes easier or fluffier than that.

We had them on a green dish soap bottle of some sort I think!! We also had Dad's dress shirts rolled up in the fridge. Mom's term was to "damp up" Dad's shirts. I learned on his hankies!! And starch we made from either a powder or concentrate.

I still spritz my ironing and use starch!! :lol:

They would fit on glass soda bottles if you could find any. I saw some recently at the store, a nostalgia thing. I think they're too small for the plastic ones.

Yes I rember them well. I still have one and use it.

My mom also had plastic bag wit a zipper the sprinkled clothes went in until they were damp enought to iron. It was fun to sprinkle the clothes-not so much fun to iron them. Especially dad's heavy work clothes. anyone remember "pants stretchers"? those metal frames you slide into men's pants to make the crease?? they are still hanging there in mom's basement.

I have a Foley ricer-still use it, as I cannot abide the potatoes done with a mixer! GLUE!

We used those when I was growing up! My mom would "sprinkle" the clothes...roll them up and put them in a plastic bag to wait until she ironed them. (Caution: if you leave them too long in the summer time, they start to get "musty"...LOL)

I remember my Mom using those when she ironed. She used a green bottle, 7-UP maybe? I really miss her.

Yes, I remember the fun of those when I sprinkled the cat instead of clothes I was supposed to be doing. I had to roll them up, sprinkling as I went and wrap a damp towel around them.

I still have my MIL's old electric iron, it has a cloth covered cord and is rectangular instead of with a smooth point. I'm afraid to plug it in but keep it as an antique.
