Welcome to The Clothesline, a book and website celebrating the relationships between mothers and daughters, neighbors and friends. We include old family recipes and remedies, and stories . Best of all we invite you into our virtual back yard to share your clothesline memories and recollections with other readers who also love the sunny smell and crisp feel of line-dried laundry. The Clothesline cherishes our relationships and connections, and there is something for everyone in this book and on this site. Enjoy!

Hand-washed lace or silk will have an extra luster if you use half milk and half water for the final rinse.
