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.
