If you are disgusted by the costs of the reed diffusers that are out there today…then just make your own. Get your own jar and the reeds are very inexpensive. I can be a lot of fun to…because you can make the fragrance exactly the way that you would like it.

Clean Your Artificial Flowers
Posted on 03.27.09 by thegardengossip @

Here is a tip for you people that love to have flowers in your home but can not maintain them so you get the artificial kind. I actually have a few artificial arrangements in my place and I really like them. I prefer the fresh real flowers but these last a lot longer. However they do get quite dusty and dirty at times. So, what you do is take a bag and fill it with water and 1/4 cup of salt or put it in a bowl. Then put the flowers in and shake it around in the bag or swish it around in the bowl and it will coming out looking as good as the day you bought it!
