Did you know . . .?

I just recently read that putting a silica packet in with your silver jewelry can help to keep it from tarnishing so quickly. You know these packets. They come in everything! They're those little packets that say, "Don't eat." The theory is that if you place some in your jewelry box (or better yet in the little plastic zip top jewelry bags you should store your jewelry in), it will help keep moisture out and prevent tarnish. I haven't tried it myself but it can't hurt and would be a good way to reuse/recycle those little packets.

Speaking of reusing and recycling, I'll be at the Lynchburg College Earth Day celebration on Tuesday, April 22. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi! I've been working on some more button and found object jewelry in keeping with the "green" theme. As a matter of fact, some of the buttons I'm using are green. Hmmm. Is that pushing it a bit?
