Hurricane Sandy Aftermath: Striped Bass closed until March 1st,2013


I am so sad that one of my favorite restaurants in Westchester, Striped Bass is going to be closed down for a couple of months.

Striped Bass was located on the Hudson and was badly damaged during Hurricane Sandy. I will be closed until March 1st,2013.

This is very sad, as Striped Bass was closed for a couple of months last year while been renovated ( I am not sure if the prior renovations were due to Hurricane Irene).

I will be the first one inline on March 1ST 2013.

STERLING SILVER CARE:

How to Care for Your Sterling Silver Goodies
Although our sterling silver contains anti-tarnishing agents, all fine sterling silver does eventually tarnish with age and with exposure to various elements. Our recommendation is that you do not wear yours pieces while in the shower, hot tub, sauna, ocean or swimming pool. The high chlorine and/or bromine contents used in swimming pools and hot tubs will accelerate the tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewelry. Minerals in your water source can also accelerate the tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewelry.  Also the chemicals in makeup and oils from your skin and from lotions may contribute to the tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewelry, we suggest applying makeup and hair spray before putting on your jewels.  (Please note sterling silver oxidizes/tarnishes over time particularly if it is not worn often.)

Removing That Icky Black Tarnish From Your Sterling Silver Jewels
There are a number of ways to clean Sterling Silver. We like this one best because it is the safest, least toxic, gentlest and most environmentally responsible method.

Here are the steps:
  1. Place a double layer of aluminum foil in the bottom of a dishpan; add warm water and 2-3 heaping tablespoons of baking soda.
  2. Place the tarnished sterling silver piece in the dishpan in contact with the aluminum foil; allow it to soak for a few minutes and the tarnish will lift off and dissipate into the solution.
  3. Rinse the items well and buff with a soft polishing cloth to restore luster.

You may also use a soft polishing cloth or foam polishing square to gently buff away tarnish. This method works well for jewelry with stones.
To slow down tarnishing, make sure to store your silver in a resealable plastic bag or the provided Tricia’s Closet jewelry pouch. This also prevents scratches.

How to Care for Your Gold and Rose Gold Plated Goodies
Our Gold and Rose Gold Plated jewelry is made by covering Sterling Silver with a thin layer of gold. Since the gold layer is so thin and reactive with silver, it will eventually wear away despite your best attempts to preserve it.

  1. Lightly wipe your Gold & Rose Gold Plated jewelry with a damp cotton cloth. This will help to eliminate any dirt or dust from accumulating on the surface and wearing away the gold layer. Use a soft non-abrasive jewelry polishing cloth and gently rub the piece to restore shine.
  2. Do not polish the Gold & Rose Gold Plated jewelry often- the more you polish, the more the plate is worn away.
  3. Keep Gold & Rose Gold Plated jewelry away from hard surfaces. Bumps and scratches will cause the gold layer to wear away faster.
  4. Store your Gold & Rose Gold Plated jewelry in our Tricia’s Closet pouch or store in a soft material that will prevent scratches.

COSTUME JEWELRY CARE:

We all love our pieces and want them to look pristine!  Here are some care instructions that will help you extend the life of your jewels.
  1. Keep your accessories in an airtight container away from sunlight.  Our Tricia’s Closet jewelry pouches are also recommended.
  2. Store each piece separately to prevent them from scratching on another.
  3. We all like to spell nice so please spray perfume before putting on your jewels, wait for the perfume to dry before accessorizing yourself.  Please DO NOT spray on perfume when wearing your pieces.
  4. Always put your jewelry on last, after you have finished applying your make-up, lotions, hairspray etc.
  5. Some people who are known to be acidic cause metallic accessories to oxidize/darken.  If one is acidic in body chemistry, please do not wear accessories against bare skin or expose the pieces to sweat.
  6. Do not immerse the pieces in any liquid.
  7. After wearing your pieces wipe them with a soft flannel cloth before storing them away.
  8. If you live close to salt water please be aware that this can also cause your accessories to darken.
  9. To care for Brass accessories, wipe them with a soft flannel cloth dampened with a little olive oil.  Brass by nature tarnished but doing this will give it a protective coating of oil to retard tarnishing.
  10. Don’t wear jewelry in the bath or shower, please note water, soap, and other bath products can damage your jewelry.
  11. Don’t wear jewelry in the pool, chlorine and salt water can damage your jewelry.
  12. When undressing, remove jewelry pieces first, this will help insure that your pieces don’t get caught on your clothes and get damaged.
