It’s Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, and of course you know what that means.
Time to organise a hat!
I pulled my “old faithful” white straw number out this morning only to gasp in horror. Rust spots all over it! What to do?!
To the computer!
How to Get Rust Spots off a Straw Hat
The answer: A paste of lemon juice, salt, and a good dose of sunlight.
Even I can manage that!
The result: The spots on the straw disappeared before my very eyes!
The ribbon still isn’t perfect, although the spots have faded. I might see if I can buy and sew on a new ribbon before Tuesday.
One of my clients is a large firm of psychologists and I will be joining them for Melbourne Cup shenanigans at their office.
Are you doing anything for Melbourne Cup this year? Do you wear a hat or get dressed up?
I read straw hats are a must for the Spring carnival! Teachers never get to go to lunch unfortunately so we’ll be watching a direct stream in the classroom 🙁
Very clever and quite a nice hat lovely! Probably nothing around here – just working on deadline 🙁
