    Throw your unwashed burlap into a lingerie bag to machine wash and dry. Will help reduce loose pieces of lint.

    I love burlap, and I never get tired of it! I am glad to know you can wash it. I have a burlap table cloth with a layered skirt, it was kind of expensive and I purchased from Grandinroad. I think I could wash it and air it dry. It covers a long folding table and we use it for parties and during Thanksgiving as an additional serving table for tea and desserts. I also like to decorate with burlap, I love your ideas and the darling no sew pillow!

    I have a large wall clock very similar to the one you own. Mine is very dark and for that reason it sort of depresses me. I know you’ve painted yours. You inspire me to do the same. I won’t do it this summer, but its on my list of things to do.

    I’ve Pinned this whole list of ideas about burlap. I pin almost everything you write. I think I’ve only listened to one audio program with the other ladies. It takes so long to listen to them. I guess I’ll need to put them on to listen to while I’m cleaning house or something. lol

    I’ve told you before that you’re my favorite blogger, but I’m telling you again. Everything you write is well written and your ideas are very artistic and useful.

  27. The entire VintageStyleLiving.com staff loves your blog! Just loved the table runner and flower pillow. Thanks for sharing!

  28. Burlap balls…thanks for the prompt, I’ve been thinking of making them for fall!

  29. Jan Cochran says:

  36. What great ideas! And I’m glad to know the tip about washing burlap.
