Fine Lines: A Celebration of Clothesline Culture

Fine Lines: A Celebration of Clothesline Culture

by Cindy Etter-Turnbull

POTTERSFIELD PRESS | April 1, 2006 | Trade Paperback

Fine Lines is a fun-filled book about a much overlooked aspect of North American culture: clotheslines. If you have you ever driven through communities and noticed all the lovely laundry handing on the line and asked yourself, "Why is that one different than this one?" You are about to find the truth behind those fine lines.
While other volumes pin their success to airing dirty laundry, this volume is a refreshing change: it''s the story of clean laundry hanging in a gentle summer breeze... as well as winter laundry frozen stiff as boards on the line in the back yard. Mrs. Clothesline examines in every detail the different kinds of lines, the various hanging methods and the personality profiles of those who participate in this age old daily ceremony. Once you''ve read this amazing book, you''ll never look at a drying line of wash the same way again.
Cindy writes of the unsurpassed magic of the best drying days, dos and don''ts for beginners and veterans, clothesline props, clothesline disasters and other related subject matter, Fine Lines covers it all. The author includes true life accounts of clothesline tragedies and triumphs from people across the country.
Fine Lines will be the book you need to revolutionize the way you look at laundry. It is intended for amateurs as well as professionals, men as well as women. This book will put to rest any questions you may have about the fine art of hanging our the wash.

About the Author

Probably nobody knows more about clotheslines than Cindy Etter-Turnbull. Cindy, and her basket of clothes, has spent many fun-filled evenings in homes and community halls throughout Nova Scotia collecting stories and anecdotes about clotheslines. She has been featured by Stuart McLean on CBC''s Vinyl Café, and has appeared on Wayne Rostad''s On the Road Again. Born in Windsor Nova Scotia, Cindy and her husband proudly possess two actively used clotheslines. Her sons, Nathan and Jon, attend local universities. Cindy spends her spare time ''training'' the family dog, gardening and trying to out-fish her husband. Her love of tradition, beauty, orderliness, and humour has led to her fascination with "fine lines"and establishing the world''s preeminent clothesline website, mrsclothesline.com.
