\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week we had a visit from Janet Williams a crafts lady \u00a0from Suffolk who gave us a few hints on refreshing and revitalising curtains. Janet makes home made accessories for the home but has extensive knowledge of materials and in particular curtains. She suggested that instead of attempting to wash curtains a really good shake (possible hoover carefully) and then hanging them on the line on a good day works wonders. When they come in all fresh and windblown you can choose to iron them before hanging. Having a tie back<\/a> can also help to keep curtains tidy and less likely to pick up so much daily dirt during the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
