Diamond's are Girls Best Friend

Who does’nt love to get a gift of jewelry? Who doesn’t know how to care for it?

1) Rubbing Alcohol is great for cleaning costume jewelry. Pour a little rubbing alcohol over the piece – place the jewelry in a shallow dish or small container first and gently brush with a soft toothbrush. A word of caution: many costume pieces are glued and soaking can loosen the glue. Try not to saturate. Finish with a quick rinse in cool water and wipe dry.

2) Costume jewelry that doesn’t contain glue can be cleaned with denture – cleaning tablets. Drop a few tablets in a cup of warm water and allow the jewelry to soak for 5 minutes or so. Rinse and dry well. For intricate pieces, dry with clean blower.

3) Remove dirt from intricate pieces by brushing with a soft bristle toothbrush and
some white, non gel toothpaste. Rinse by brushing with a clean toothbrush and just water and dry well.

Artful Arrangements

*Flowers too fall short for the vase? Place stems in a plastic drinking straws before arranging.

*Vase too deep? Fill it with marbles prior to adding water and flowers

* Wilted flowers? Snip about an inch off the ends and stand them in hot water for about 20 to 30 minutes before returning to a vase of clean, cool water.

*Make sure floral foam is saturated with water before adding flowers.

*Arrange large flowers first, then follow with smaller blossoms and greenery.
