Tip of the Week

Essential Oils Arround The Home

A great way to create your own personal scent around the home is to pop a few drops of your faviourate essential oil onto a cotton wool pad and pop it on top of radiators around the home. When they heat up the smell lifts around the room. Heavenly xxxx

Preserving Cream/White Desks & Dressing Tables

A perfect way to preserve a nice shabby chic dressing table top for all the make up, nail varnish, purfume spills is to nip down to your local glazers with the surface measurements and get a piece of glass cut and edged (they do this quite easily) and pop it on top, this way you protect the surface. HINT its also a great way to preserve photos, tickets, doodles and bits of at that are precious to you. xxxx

Cleaning Artificial Flowers

There's nothing worse than dusty flower to give the game away!! so.........
A great way to clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper or plastic bag and pop the flowers in. Shake vigorously for a few minutes and the salt will absorb all the dirty and dust and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Then simply shake off the excess salt (I would reccommend doing this outside) and your flowers will look like new xx

I'd love to here from you if you have any handy tip's you would like to share.
