P.S. Bread Cloth

After writing that last post, I remembered that years ago, a friend living in Bulgaria had sent me a cloth people wrapped bread in--it was just the normal technology there. 

But... HAD I THROWN IT OUT, in one of my purges?

No, I just found it. Happy! It's lightweight cotton, embellished with a little needlework and a pretty edging...


I've never used it, but now I will stitch it into a bag and that will suit my needs.

    POODLE: Hey, nice to see you here again!
    I guess my best-self knew better than to throw this treasure out.

  3. A bread cloth! Of course I need to use one for moving my bread about when I buy it! I can't imagine that they'll let me get it sliced anymore, but that seems a small price for pretty edges and cheer.

  4. Hey, Julia! I'll give you one of my bread cloth bags---I hope the co-op folks would still slice your bread--worth a try, anyway.
