I have a quilt my grandmother made that my dad recently gave to me. It is at least 30 years old and looks like it has never been cleaned. I hesitate to take it to the dry cleaners for fear it may "accidentally" come up missing! It...

poppyscarlet What about hand washing the item just in water to get the surface dirt out? Or maybe just adda a little washing detergent if the obvious marks don't come out. With hand washing you'll have more control over the temperature of the water and the level of...

poppyscarlet 1. Slammer - the perfect morning shower gel. I still have 3 big bottles in my stash - I am gradually using them. 2. More Than Mortal body scrub - pineapple and clay body scrub. The most amazing bio fresh product. 3. The Scicilian Ballistic - can you tell...

To balance my other discussion, i thought i'd see what kinds of products people don't like that Lush do. Here's mine: 1) Pied De Pepper foot cream - this stuff stinks, even more than Snake Oil! I can't stand the smell of this,...

poppyscarlet I also agree on this last Christmas dress-up products. It was so disappointing and lacking in inspiration. Also add in the lack of Valentines new stuff as well. They could easily have taken some old Xmas stuff that was disconned and made that rather than...

When I was a child, my mother taught me to sew. We did not have a sewing machine but that did not prevent us from sewing. We made alot of our own clothes out of feed sacks. We made quilts from clothes that wore out so bad that we...

poppyscarlet I was taught english paper pecing my my grandmother when I was 7 years old. I adore the technique and still make all of my quilts from this method. My gran never finished a quilt but I have made lots of peices for my relatives - in fact I don't have a piece...

I am just finishing a scenic quilt of Multnomah Falls here in Oregon and I love it. I have just gotten into this type of quilting and I think it's great. You can take any photo and make a quilt from it. Does anyone else do them?

poppyscarlet No I don't - but your quilt is absolutuely beautiful. Are all the shapes used ones with straight lines? I'm looking to see if I could get the result using english paper piecing (and it only works well with straight lines).

I just went over mine and guess what I found? PINEAPPLE GRUNT soap... I guess it's not super old - but its not a remade D/C so it must be old right? anyways ... what are some oldies in your stash (not from remakes!) ?

poppyscarlet Well, I still have half a CTG Strawbery Bath bomb and the remnant of a pot of Vanillipedes foot cream. I hate to calculate how old they are. I have some very old BNever shower gel - the Lush stuff before they disconned it. It matures like fine wine.

poppyscarlet More Than Mortal was the most wonderful biofresh product. It was a body exfoliator and it had pineapple, kaolin and scrubby bits. It was the perfect product - my skin felt so lovely and soft and the smell was divine.

poppyscarlet Sometimes Lush UK mailorder has BNever Shower Gel available. They promised that Potion and BNever would be avaialable to Forumites via that route. I don't know if they still have both - but in Titty's ill-fated list of discons they were going to sell with...

poppyscarlet It smells the same to me - but one of the interesting things about Lush is that we can often think different things complement each other or smell like each other. People tell me that Skin Sin smells like Comforter - not to me it doesn't! I find Lemony...

poppyscarlet Another vote for the big bottles of showergel. I'm still using my stash of my beloved Slammer - it lasts so long and the scent lingers on the skin. I also like the Each Peach massage bar - I cut it up and use it as an Avobath scented bath melt.

If so - which is your favourite album? Mine is Twisted - it is perfection in its combination of songs. It Might As Well Be You must be the most perfect song. I was lucky to see it performed live on the tour for the album.

poppyscarlet Yes, it's Roll To Me - IMHO not their finest hour. Why is is that often a song that is not typical of a band's repertoire is the one that ends up being their biggest hit?

poppyscarlet I'm useless at cocktailing but I do try and match the scents together - so if I'm having bath with Melting Marsmallow Moment I'll use Snow Fairy to wash with and then dust myself down with Candy Fluff. With an Avobath I might cut off a bit of an Each Peach...
