Our monthsary is soon coming. In three days time we will celebrate another month of being together. Actually, we can choose not to since we have been together for four years. Yet, we feel that it is still a special day for us. Last year of the same month I can’t forget the things hubby gave me, a set of beautiful heart jewelry a ring with a heart, a necklace with a pendant heart and heart earrings. I am not expecting for a gift this time since I know there are several things more important than that. I am just excited to go with a date with him on that day.
Ivory and Picture Frame Cleaning Tips
July 3, 2009
IVORY CARE -To clean and preserve the color of ivory: Place the article in a basin of cold water. Allow to set for 24 hours. Remove from water and lay the item on a clean, dry towel. Do not wipe! Air Dry only. If any water remains, pleas blow the water out. If any water is remaining, the ivory color will become destroyed. Be careful!
PICTURE FRAMES -Dingy or rusty gilt picture frames may be cleaned by simply washing them with a small sponge moistened with oil of turpentine or spirits of wine! Take care that the sponge does not become saturated. The sponge should be damp, not soaking. Gently wipe off the dirt and rust. DO NOT WIPE DRY…Let the frames dry themselves.
Another method to clean gilt frames: Carefully dust the frame. Make a mixture of 1 ounce of baking soda and 3 egg whites. Beat well. Wash the frames with this mix. Touch up scrapes with gold paint.
