My Thrift Store Find

I found this duster holder at the thrift store. It has a few spots where bluing was spilled on it, but it was too cute to pass up. The industrious housewife certainly made everything attractive. Even the bag that held her dusters is charmingly embroidered!

"EACH LITTLE MAIDEN HAS A SKIRT
   READY FOR YOU TO CHASE THE DIRT"

The dust cloths were put into the three pockets. When you were ready to use one you pulled it out through the hole in the skirt.

Of course I didn't use dust cloths for the skirts . . .  I used vintage hankies. They make much prettier skirts. But don't worry, I'm not going to dust with them!
