Laundry day













Even laundry seems enchanting in Italy. How can it be? Although you see these clotheslines everywhere in Italy, in Burano the experience is that much more intense because every inhalation is heavy with the intoxicatingly sweet smell of fresh laundry.

    Lovely!

    Laundry days in Italy are definitely something to savor, and celebrate.

    A few of my own laundry days in Italy (one of which is actually titled "Laundry Day" and features a colorful clothesline of stuffed animals), and one in Korcula (Croatia) -

  11. These pictures are gorgeous! It is always easy to find pretty "laundry spots" in Italy, but it's not always easy to capture them in this pretty unique way.

  13. Ooooo...laundry is enchanting in Italy. I'm jealous. I was just thinking to myself how much I dislike doing so much laundry (i have 3 little ones). I'd rather smell the clean laundry and take pictures of it all hung on the line.
