Roses & Daisies Washeteria Painting

Lay-aways welcome! See below for details.

I went to college in the deepest deep antebellum South. My dorm was even an old Civil War hospital complete with the ghosts of Confederate soldiers in the attic!

Back in those college days (which, I feel compelled to add, were not THAT long ago), the grownups thought it perfectly acceptable to require our precious darling selves to cart our laundry, on foot, two or three blocks to the local coin-op laundromat (uphill both directions in 3 feet of snow year round. In the deep South....) and do it ourselves. And so we did. But of course, as Southerners so often do, they have delightful word for such a mundane place. They call it the washeteria.

And so, every Saturday morning, my sweet southern roomies and I would haul our dirty drawers down t' the washeteria to do the washin'. I loved that word then, and still do to this very day!

I'm not sure we, in our exuberant youth, so eager to do FUN stuff, not chores, got our laundry "fresh as a daisy and fragrant as a rose", but we survived!

Roses and daisies on a scrumptiously shabby old cottage window are inspired by those early college days. Bug bites, thorns, dew drops and that festive moniker Fluff-n-Fold will add cheerful whimsy to your laundry room, kitchen or any ol' place you hang her.

The lettering is, as always, reverse-painted on the back of the window, and the back of the window is protected with vintage wallpaper. The flowers and foliage are varnished for luminous depth and lasting durability. Your treasure will arrive ready to hang.

OVERALL DIMENSIONS:

19 x 43-1/2

As always, Ronda offers a 100% shipping guarantee -- if your window arrives damaged, you will receive an immediate refund from me and will not have to deal with the claim issues.

Lay-aways welcome! 20% down ($37) due at time of purchase with the balance payable over three months. Please contact me if you wish to use this option. Thank you!

DOMESTIC SHIPPING IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.
