The sewing nook; the little soda bottle on the ironing board is not for refreshment, but for dampening the clothes to be ironed

Thank you so much!  Not to detract in any way from any other comments or members, but you are an inspiration to me, so thank you, thank you, thank you!  :-)

It looks great! My mother used to use those bottles for dampening clothes back in the old days before permanent press. She called it sprinkling, and she always sprinkled the clothes when she ironed!

She had a little top on the bottle with lots of holes in it, sort of like a salt shaker top.

So did my mom!  She had a little Squirt soda bottle (not even sure they make it any more).  The dampened clothes would go in the refrigerator until she could iron them. I'm sure she was glad when she got a steam iron, and even happier when we got no-iron clothes.
