This is the size of Myrtle and friends

In response to a query we had yesterday, here's picture of some of our lovely silver goodies so you can see how big they are. They are just fabulous. I'm wearing Sweet Deer on my coat today. Just in case you were wondering.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness...

It’s September, we just had a couple of days above 20 degrees, and I’m rediscovering the pleasures of open-toed shoes… Ok, so it’s not quite Summer but it’s definitely time to get excited about Winter officially being over. And definitely time to spruce up your living space with some good old Spring cleaning. OBVIOUSLY we’ve got our own ideas about the best techniques for sprucing up your sleeping quarters, but here are some other handy hints to help you embrace your inner Sadie the cleaning lady…

1. Chances are you’re not the only one sleeping on your mattress. Dust mites aren’t the most charming bed companions, but you can minimize their proliferation by giving your mattress a regular wipe down with a hot damp cloth and a thorough vacuum, paying close attention to indented or buttoned spots where dust lodges.
2. When it comes to bathroom cleanliness, prevention is better than a cure. Keep a squeegee in your shower and encourage users to give tiles and shower doors a quick once-over after they shower. It’ll do wonders for preventing mold and slimy soap build-up.
3. Make your kitchen sink shine like new by filling it with really hot water, adding a cup of bleach and letting it soak for an hour. Drain and rinse thoroughly and then scrub with Ajax or baking soda, and rinse again.
4. Reserve window-cleaning projects for an overcast day – the sun’s rays will cause streaking.
