Thought for Tuesday ~ Preserving Gifts

With Mother's Day around the corner, I thought these interesting tidbits might be fun to share.

If you freeze candles before you use them, they will burn for a longer period.

If you have a pesky shirt button that's loose, re-stich it using fish line for thread. This will keep it place for a long time.

Suppose-of-ly, a shot of vodka added to the water in a vase will keep flowers fresh. Haven't tested this one... if anyone has, please let us know your results in the comments section.

To clean special glasses or glass containers such as vases, use a solution of salt, lemon juice, and crushed ice. Swirl them around inside to achieve a sparkling clean. If the glass is very fragile, eliminate the ice.

If you keep your silver jewelry in an air tight container, such as a Tupperware or Rubbermaid container, will prevent it from discoloring/tarnishing.

Do you have a favorite tip for preserving your cherishables? Please share it with us in the comment section!
