A Guide To Green HouseKeeping

Green

If you choose to own only one book on green housekeeping then as a vintage kinda girl this is the only one you should offer Brocante shelf room to, if only because it is written by Christina Strutt of Cabbage and Roses fame, and thus is blessed with the kind vintage housekeeping imagery that makes pinny wearers like us swoon…

My favorite tip… lemon scented rags. Seep rags in two parts white vinegar to one part oil (olive or lemon) with the curly peel of a lemon in a screw top jam jar, and shake and leave until required.

Vintage loveliness that costs nothing and gently scents the house without toxic chemicals? Just what the (house) doctor ordered.

“How blest the maid whom circling years improve Her God the object of her warmest love Whose useful hours, successive as they glide The Book, the Needle, and the Pen divide.” This precious sampler was stitched by one Anne “Nancy” Mouton in 1796, and in her ten year old wisdom she added the words above…
