I love a good Old Wives Tale as much as the next person so I'm hoping my latest tale proves correct. I have some lovely vintage fancy-worked doilies which have a few minor "old age" stains on them and I was given a quaint Old Wives Tale from my Mum as to how to remove these stains.
Here goes:
"Soak the articles in eucalyptus wool mix for at least 24 hours, then hang them on the line all day in the sunlight then all night in the moonlight and then another day in the sunlight. The results are really very good, the secret being the moonlight. No kidding!"
PS How beautiful are these Spring mornings??!
