PRETTY PASTELS !!!


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!
