Saturday Surprise and One Stop



Once upon a time is the theme for Saurday Surprise, a challenge I haven't entered before. I thought of a time when dresses were sewn on a treadle machine and washed in big zinc washtubs. What an improvement it must have been to be able to use this new-fangled "celebrated home washer"!

One Stop Challenge has as its theme: newspaper, text, writing, so I am entering this in that challenge also.

My background is a combination of mists and sprays, home-made and bought. The sewing machine stamp is Stampin' Up. The other items came from Nancy Maxwell James in a random drawing which I won.
