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.

Recycle Your Dryer Lint...


One of the reasons we clean out dryer lint is to prevent fires, as it's highly flammable. Why not use it to start a fire where you want one, such as when you go camping and need to have a camp fire?

One way to do this is to pack lint into a small section of toilet paper or paper towel tubing to take on your camping trips. The lint will light quickly and get your kindling off to a good start.

Another method is to make fire starters by packing lint into the cups of paper egg cartons. Pour melted candle wax over the lint. Cut the egg carton apart into 12 separate fire starters and simply light the edge of the paper egg cup and place next to your kindling to get a good blaze started.
