Blast from the past Ewbank carpet sweeper

 https://www.ewbank.co.uk/history/



Lol, Who remembers these beauties from childhood? I remember my mum having a blue one. I got to use it as a child. I loved it, hey it’s a girl thing 🤣🤣 . I remember opening it to get the fluff and stuff out , or as we Scottish call it oose and stoore. Stour being the gritty dirt and oose being the fluff. 🤣🤣 The carpet sweeper was first invented in 1889, wow. Just imagine what a game changer that would have been for women then of course along came the vacuum cleaner, hooray.

I often get a laugh out of people sharing old pictures of things from when I was small. So many memories and things long forgotten. Happy simple things of everyday life. Lol, I guess I am just easily amused. I might as well have a little blast from the past section in my blog just for entertainment and a trip down memory lane for us to smile and reminisce.

Enjoy your day people xxx
