The Green Wagon

Have you been over to my Etsy site yet?
If you have you've seen my new spring line of upcycled wool scrubbers and unpaper towels. 


I couldn't be happier to let you know that they are now available for purchase at The Green Wagon in East Nashville! I hope you'll stop in and give Tara and Johnny some love. They have expanded the store's selection tremendously and are just a fantastic couple.

They've also asked me to come do some workshops. The first of which will be about making your own cleaners. It's a really fun workshop, and I am revamping all my handouts with some brand new recipes!

Hope to see you there!

First Post (and orange cleaner recipe)

So here it is.
My very first blog.


I thought I would start off with my favorite and very first homemade cleaner. It's simple enough for our 7 year old to do.

Do you have lots of these? 


We do. My girls eat oranges like they are fighting off scurvy.
Ingredients:
orange peels and vinegar
and
you will need a jar with a lid

That's it. You're done.











Fill your jar with as many orange peels as you have hanging around on your counter.




add vinegar
Put the lid on and shake it. Put it someplace dark. Shake it every once in a while until it smells less like vinegar and more like oranges. (really)


The jar on the right is about 2 weeks into "pickling", I think it's about done.


After it seems about right, I strain mine through a small strainer over a funnel into a spray bottle.


It's really great as an all-purpose spray, and does windows and glass too!






Happy Cleaning!
