A really fun find in one such tin was a net scrubby -- I think it was probably intended to be enclosed in a Christmas card. Or, it may just have been a bazaar item. It's a rectangle of red netting -- it looks like about four layers, cut 5-1/4 inches by 3-1/4 inches -- sewed together with green thread. Up in one corner is a little embroidered evergreen sprig.
This Christmas card of nylon net
Will help you most when it is wet.
It's extra good for pots and pans;
Eliminates most dishpan hands.
So for my year-long Christmas wishes,
Use it when you do the dishes.
Cute, don't you think? I may make up a few of these to tuck into special Christmas cards!
This is very cute! I've never seen one like it.
ReplyDeleteI never had either, Vicki. I was so intrigued by it! I'm likely to find some netting as I continue going through the house, so may be able to make some of these without even shopping for materials!
DeleteThat is so cute, what a neat little gift.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, Mary? I was just thinking too, wouldn't it be fun to use another color of netting and embroider a snowflake instead of an evergreen sprig?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of another color of netting and a snowflake. Maybe the netting comes in blue? That would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteI know that the netting comes in green, and I am pretty sure I could find it in a blue, also. I think blue would be very pretty with a snowflake.
DeleteLove the poem but the card is my favorite!!! so cosy and warm
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun idea, isn't it, Lucie? I'm thinking I may make up a few of these as they look extremely quick and easy to make.
