So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Making Beautiful Murano Glass Jewelry Dazzle For A Long Time

By Jerri Perry


Women who are spotted wearing Murano glass jewelry pieces are revered for their exquisite taste in fashion accessories. These items are known for their superb quality and the history that each stunning bead carries with it. One look and it's easy to see why a lot of stylish women are crazy about these accessories perfect for just about any mood, attire or occasion.

Caring for these items is important so you may enjoy your investments for a very long time. After all, it's not unlikely that they came with steep price tags. It's a good thing that you don't have to go through a lot just to keep them sparkling.

Just like any other glass, the Murano type can break if the wearer is not careful. These eye-catching beads adorning all sorts of fashion accessories can be compared to the durability of marbles children play with. However, longer and thinner ones tend to break easily. No matter the case, they should be kept from dropping to the floor or banging against surfaces.

Don't throw away the pouches or boxes that these accessories came in when you bought them. That's because they can be used as storage spaces in case you don't have an organizer. They come in handy too when you have to travel and take some of your collections. Soft suede pouches and padded boxes shield them from dust and help keep impact to a minimum.

Investing in a good jewelry organizer helps eliminate clutter in the room. The right one to purchase is something that has several compartments, each of them lined with a soft material for added protection. Putting each and every accessory in its own compartment saves it from getting entangled with another piece and keeps the beads from knocking against each other.

Placing anti-tarnish strips or small bags of silica gel inside the organizer is recommended. This is done for the benefit of accessories with silver parts that are prone to oxidizing and tarnishing. Moisture in the air can cause such metal to look dull.

Keeping the beads looking shiny is as simple as wiping them with a soft lint-free cloth on a regular basis. The best time to do so is right after wearing them and just before putting them in their designated storage space. Women should apply hairspray, perfume and other cosmetics prior to wearing these accessories to ensure that the beads stay sparkling.

In case you feel that they could use some intensive cleaning, stay away from solutions available commercially. The harsh chemicals in them may leave the other components of your accessories damaged. Often, washing these items in warm water with mild soap is enough to remove stubborn dirt and grime. Worry not about the silver or gold foil as they are actually placed inside the beads and not on the surface. Use a towel to thoroughly dry your fine accessories before storing them.

Murano glass jewelry pieces can instantly make just about any garment look fantastic. To enjoy them for a very long time, taking good care of them is essential. These fine accessories can make women sparkle for years if they are treated properly.
