Odds and ends for home decor and cleaning tips
Before the cold weather comes, gather Christmas decorations in the woods. Pine cones and dried twigs can be tipped with white paint and used to adorn gift packages or the Christmas tree. Gold or silver jewellery can be cleaned by ammonia solution and a soft cloth. Clean the dust mop with turpentine and hot soapsuds.
