Mmmm. Clove and lavender! And I have a large bottle of them left over from
making orange pomanders. That's a great idea. Thank you

I have a similar problem with moths in the wheat. I hate to say it but I have
gone to the dark side on this topic and I put a Hot Shot No Pest strip in every
(airtight) box. I have feathers, too, and this stuff works. Cedar, moth
balls, lavendar, not so much. Freezing has to be pretty
This news about the Tate's archive is a relief, but the article also
tells about the loss of the VA's archive: read it and weep.

This is most certainly a sign that the photographic arts are being lost and
assumed duplicated because, it is just a picture. There are so many works
of art lost to us that sometimes these photographs is all we have left of
them. I find it absolutely a mortal sin that of all places the VA
And VA were stupid enough not to realize that they could have put
them on eBay and made a small fortune! ;)

The moths who get into wheat and other foods are a completely different species
from moths who eat wool. I found this out when we bought a bag of bird seed
that had moth eggs inside. We had a huge infestation in our utility room. It
took several months before it was completely gone. I had no
Very true that the moths that develop from mealworms don't eat fabrics. BUT
also true that once they get into your house they are EVERYWHERE in your house,
and they are particularly fond of making their cocoons in folds of drapery and

Thanks for the tip on using cloves, I'm going to give it a try in my drawers of
small items. H, have some tubs of wool scaps, may try them there too.
For larger, ie; hanging, I've had success with the bags of cedar chips you can
get at the pet store for small animal bedding. I take old
Ruthanne, you are so right. And they were disgusting! I walked into the utility
room one morning and saw maggots going up the wall. And let me tell you maggots
from moths are no less gross than maggots from flies. You could have knocked me
over with a feather! Luckily, it was the utility room
Oh god, I had forgotten those parades of maggots up the walls. An unholy mess.

Wow. Now I feel lucky that we didn't get the food moths. I didn't lose any
of my wool - this time - only feathers. Lots of vintage feathers in unique
examples of what can be done with them. I had yards of feather trim I just
tossed and a broken bit of peach colored feather I wanted to reproduce. A
For other reasons, I put together a list of original 1910s magazine
containing about 50 pages of needlework patterns available for about $10

They are well-known for genealogy sources, but sure, lots of fun
