The other weekend I attended a weekend retreat at Jude’s . A breast cancer awareness fundraiser.
Well Saturday night was to be a ‘black and bling’ night. So the weeks leading up to my packing I had to sort out a few things. I went through my wardrobe to see what black outfits I had that fitted me. That was fun but I did find something. Next was to sort through my jewellery. Also fun. I found a few things that would suit but I also found some that really needed a good clean. I only have the basic jewellery cleaner at home but that was a good start.
I found these 2 pieces that need some work.
First up was this lovely necklace. Very plain but special and very dull and dirty.
It really was a terrible colour. Now look at it after 10 minutes.
Next up was a very pretty bracelet. Not a very good photo though. Well it was supposed to be pretty.
So some time was spent with soaking, rubbing with a cloth, scrubbing in soapy water.
Look at it now.

Great cleaning job Jo, and even though I was in the same room, I can't tell you if you wore them or something else?? Perhaps the photos will tell me?
a good outcome - I'm sure you will find opportunities to wear them again.
Much prettier with a bit of a clean!
Nice job. Hmm, I wonder what dress up theme Chooky will have this year?
They cleaned up well.
They came up beautifully. Very pretty
Wow, from dull to dazzling!
Surprising what a little cleaning does….
