Today's update

Hello everyone!

Thought I would just give you an update for today.

I didn't blog here yesterday as I had the enjoyable job of pressing bedding. If you read my twitter, you will probably already know this. You will also know that I am not so efficient as to press my own bedding (too much of a slob for that I think!), but for the guests that stay at our cottage next door, Rosia Cottage.

I thought it would be very nice for the guests to have memory foam mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets - the mattresses are lovely (I slept there last week when my daughter had a Danish Exchange Student over - all girls next door leaving the boys at home). As for the cotton sheets, yes they are crisp, clean and delightful to sleep in but it takes me a whole day to wash and press bedding! (Makes me think of the Fresh Linen reed diffusers and candles in a Jar that we sell)

If anybody reading this actually knew me, then you would know my little tricks of avoiding ironing at all times! Shirts taken out of the washing machine, given a good shake then hang on the line (if the weather is good). Then when picking in the washing, putting straight on the hanger, or hang over the clothes horse next to the dehumidifier and hopefully gets rid of any creases. All remaining creases to fall out when worn, with body heat.

All bedding does not need ironing as the above methods are used, then when put on the bed remaining creases will drop out. Any creases left will NOT be noticed as everybody will have their eyes shut sleeping!

It also helps to buy non-iron shirts and polyester sheets! As for knickers, socks etc. why do they need ironing anyway?

Well, I must get back to work! I have loads of Laser Crystal Balls to list on the website at Trewhellows Gift Shop

Bye for now,

Kathryn
