Makes me enjoy folding clean laundry

"Finally got one! I remember when a gal was having a party selling these. I looked at the prices and thought I’d never afford this. Finally I am in a position where I want what I worked hard for, and this so delivers! It arrives freshly handmade by an artisan and it sits at the very perfect spot in my laundry room, proudly waiting for laundry day. I love the size, for delivery of everyone’s clean things. Thank you for re-making these for us. I love mine, and I treasure it."
