I had bought some old bobbins (mixed lot of 9) from e-bay and had them sent
to Jacquie to be collected during my recent trip to UK.
When I opened the envelope I could immediately smell tobacco smoke on the
bobbins and they were very dirty, old and dry looking. I was going to
bring them home, but decided to leave them with Jacquie to clean with her
supply of "Granny Almans Old Fashioned Furniture Polish & Reviver".
I can recommend it because I had used it on a pile of Bucks Thumpers that
I'd bought second hand on the Lace Guild Sales table a couple of years ago
and which were also dry and dirty. I had some of those Thumpers with me in
Spain and they were admired by people who had never seen that type of bobbin
and they looked quite beautiful on my pillow.
Malvary (back in Ottawa where it is raining and miserable - just like it was
in Spain over Easter).
