PRETTY PASTELS !!!

Spring says tulips and violas! Lilacs and marigolds! Green grass and fresh breezes blowing! Opening up the windows and letting all that fresh air in. Plenty of sunshine and enough rain to keep those flowers happy!

These are just a few of the many springtime finds on Etsy.

Enjoy all these colorful finds!

I also have a couple of recipes for today. The first one calls for a few things you might not have around the house.

Beeswax Furniture Polish

4 ounces beeswax
2 tablespoons carnauba wax
2 1/2 cups odorless turpentine or mineral spirits

Melt the waxes on HIGH in a microwave or in a double boiler. Remove the waxes from the heat and stir in the turpentine or mineral spirits. When cool, store in a tightly capped container.

Apply the polish with a clean cloth and rub in small circles. Turn the cloth as it becomes dirty. Allow the polish to dry, then buff with a clean cloth. If more than one coat is desired, wait two days between applications.

This one is an all purpose cleaner, floors, wood work, countertops, bathrooms, etc. 

***Soap Flakes can be purchased in the detergent aisle of

 most grocery stores.***

All-Purpose Cleaner

1 tablespoon baking soda
1 gallon hot water
1/4 cup soap flakes

After cleaning with this solution, rinse surface with clear water.

Thats about it for now!

As Always!

Keep It Clean!
