Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Decorating Windows This Holiday Season?


If you like the looks of frosty windows for the holiday season, this is a great way to have them anywhere without purchasing some of the harder to remove products on the market. (Not to mention this is more frugal) You can also create privacy if your window faces an area you'd be happier not viewing. Use stencils to create any design you'd like!

First, make sure your window is clean.
Dissolve 1/2 pound of Epsom Salts into 1 quart of water. Paint over the inside of the window. This will give it a frosted appearance. To clean, all you have to do is wipe off with window cleaner!

Here is another recipe:
4 tbsp. Epsom salt
1 cup beer (any brand)
Food coloring (optional for an "artsy" flair)

In a mixing bowl, dissolve Epsom Salt and Food Coloring (if desired) in beer. Let stand for 30 minutes to an hour.

Paint mixture on the inside of clean window with paint brush. Go back over window with a terry cloth rag in a stippling manner. Let dry for several hours.

Reapply mixture if necessary.

Use this process any time during the year on windows where you want privacy. To clean frost from window, spray window with window cleaner and wipe clean.
