Vintage Thingies Thursday is hosted by Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen.
Show & Tell Friday is Hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.
This week I'm sharing my grandmother's old washboard.
My dad made it into a towel hanger and it now hangs in my laundry area.

I love it and how clever of you dad to turn it into something so useful :)
Not only is that adorable but the rooster towel is just to die for. Great idea for a laundry room. I like how he turned it into something useful. Neat-O
Great idea-great rooster towel too.
I am so impressed with your washboard/towel bar. What a great idea!
Practical AND nice to look at. Love the towels too!
Great washboard! I like the rooster towel, too.
What a great use for your washboard! I may have to steal that idea...
oh, I LOVE that!
That is a great use for a washboard. We have a couple of old ones in my family--we should do something like that.
Most importantly, though, where did you get that fantastic rooster towel?
Totally cute! I'd have never thought of that...and I love the rooster towels too!
Oh what a great idea to convert the washboard. Terrific!
Hi Tamy...that washboard idea is very clever! It really looks cute!
I love family treasures. He did an amazing job of making it into a towel hanger,
What a super, SUPER idea.
My Show n Tell is now posted...come on over if you can! I'd love to have you visit with me this fine Friday!!! Happy weekend to you too.
Great idea - makes a perfect place to display your beautiful towels.
I love it! A practical use for something dear! I have a washboard that I got at an antique store and it sits on top of my kitchen cabinets with some lye soap and other stuff. I like the idea of turning it into a towel holder though!
Last week I shared about my Grandma's trunk, the "before restoration" photos. I got it back and I have posted its transformation on today's S&T.

Oh how nice! Makes me wish I still had my grandma's.
That's so clever! I have one to and this is a cute idea!

Love it! My mom actually used to do laundry on a scrub board when she was a young girl.
A washboard! Whoooeee, I bet our children don't even know what one is anymore. What a creative idea, and what a lovely reminder of the hard work your grandmother had to do to keep those whites white!
Thanks for sharing.
I have several wash boards, what a neat idea, I love the rooster
I love it! I'm glad that it is not our main method of laundry anymore though! So cute!

Love the towel bar and the rooster towel!
Love the towel bar and the rooster towel!
Great old washboard, Lisa. How wonderful that you have your grandmothers. I have my mother-in-law's. She said she washed my husband's diapers on it!
