NATURAL WASHING POWDER RECIPE

 www.sophieladydeparis.etsy.com


Hi Everyone,

One of my customer said she liked the scent of my antique dish cloth and asked me yesterday what kind of washing powder I was using to make my laundry smell so good. 
So I thought it could be a good idea to share a tip by sharing with you the way I'm making my washing powder to clean my antique French linens.

Natural Washing Powder Recipe
1/Take an old detergent can.
2/Fill it with 2 glasses of each following ingredients : 
-grounded natural soap,
-baking soda (will foam with vinegar),
-white vinegar,
3/ 2 Litres (70 ounces) of hot water,
4/ 10 drops of essential oil of lavender (or any scent you like lemon, ylang-ylang etc...),
5/ Shake the can,
6/ Leave it till all the ingredients are mixed together (average one hour),
7/ I 'm using 3 cups per washing machine.

CAUTION : As for any other detergent be cautious with children and if you have any allergy. This is just a tip that you have to adapt to your own case.

French Folk

FOLK COSTUME CLOTHING and FABRICS


Folk is quite high in France. People are very touched and proud of their Folk habbits and traditions.
Folk Dances are still happening a lot and are really various and typical according to their location.
Those events are good reason to show beautiful costumes with aprons, bonnets, collars, shawls and so on...
I do love seeing those Folk traditions, roots of our soul !

I'm coming from the south of France. 
One of our most worldwide popular fabric is the famous cotton Provence fabric with diamond prints.

GLOVES CODE and SHORT STORY



All signs of luxury were prohibited during the French Revolution of 1789 ! Therefore gloves being a symbol of wealth were forbidden.The French had to wait for their first French Empress(1804/ 1809) Joséphine de Beauharnais , Napoleon Ist  first wife, to put on gloves again. She was buying 1000 pairs a year and would never use the same pair again.


Then Early 20th Century Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris opened and dedicated a complete section to gloves attracting Ladies from all over the world. 


In the 50's Women were wearing gloves like hats custom. No one of them would show outside of their homes without gloves on without feeling nude. When gloves were not on they had to be held in hands.
Day gloves were in light colors from grey, white to beige and made of cotton or nylon not leather.
After the 50's gloves became more a fashion accessory.





Please find a few antique and vintage cotton lace and nylon gloves on my shop  :

LAVENDER Tips




LAVENDER TO KEEP MITES AND BAD SMELLS AWAY
Add 5 drops of lavender essential oil to 5 liters (+/- 1 gallon) hot water. Soak your mop in this lavender water and wash your floor with it. You'll kill any bad smell and specifically cigarettes ones!
Put lavender sachet in your dresser to keep mites away and perfume your closets!




LAVENDER IN BEAUTY
Lavender oil. Add 5 drops (no more) of lavender essential oil to 100 ml of oil (almond , apricot, sunflower, olives, coconut etc...) leave it for one day then apply to your humid skin (avoiding eyes, noses, lips) after shower . Dry your skin afterwards with a towel to remove the extra grease. You'll feel fresh and relaxed all day long!
Before sleeping put one drop of lavender oil on your pillow or a lavender sachet next to it to dream like a baby!
Lavender is calming and relaxing!






LAVENDER IN NATURAL MEDICINE
LAVENDER name comes from Latin "Lavare" meaning "to wash" because Romans were using it a lot for its cleaning and anti-toxic power.
Fantastic herbal tea to feel relaxed! You can drink  up to 3 times a day 1 tea spoon of dried lavender flowers boiled into hot water 3 minutes . 
Lavender is a Moon plant Yin.
We are growing it in French Provence since 16th century and harvesting it mid-August.
