Have You Tried Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil?!

2/6/2014

My love affair with Miss Mustard Seed Hemp Oil continues....

Wood, cast iron, as a protective sealer over Milk or Chalk Paint — it has so many uses. You can even use it to revitalise oil-based varnishes and lacquers.

Because of its restorative properties I wanted to test it on leather.  And what better than a $3 vintage purse I found lonely, sad & neglected at an op shop.

In such bad shape, I was unsure whether the purse was even genuine leather but for $3 (and cute as it is!) I thought....why not give it a try?!

BEFORE: Notice the discolouration, surface cracking & the stiffness of the handles.

DURING: I used a Miss Mustard Seed Paint & Wax Brush to get into the seams & cracks easier

DURING: I used my hands to rub the Hemp Oil into the brittle straps

Second coat soaking in after a couple days
With just one coat the purse began to come back to life. 

The discolouration  of the thirsty leather started to fade and the stiff "plastic" feel disappeared! 

I used the Miss Mustard Seed Wax & Paint Brush to get into all the little seams and cracks easier, 

but you can achieve this with a rag...or even your hands.

In fact, I used my hands to massage the Hemp Oil into the handles which were 

very stiff and brittle (it's all-natural and hemp oil is used in many 
beauty and facial products so it's perfectly safe).

The results of the second coat were less dramatic, but still resulted in a further softening of the leather and lessening of the discolouration.

Amazing transformation! Left side before the Hemp Oil & right side just starting with the first coat (soaking in!)
I waited a couple days to see if there were any further transformations and then 
added a third and final coat.  
Each coat soaked into the leather and continued to revitalise it. 
Much like furniture, I think letting the piece tell you what to do is best.

This handbag wants to keep a bit of its patina and wear. 

It's proud of the life it has led and I agree.
So together we decided third time is the charm and applied the third and final coat of hemp oil. 
After all, I didn't want my vintage purse looking brand new!

AFTER: Thrilled with the result. A gorgeous new-again life for this vintage beauty

Of course since this transformation, nothing is safe from me and 
my bottle of Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil! 

Here are a few more examples of what you can do with Hemp Oil:

I've only just begun my love affair with Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil.
Everything is in danger of getting "The Hemp Oil Treatment!" 

I now use it to treat the furniture in my home (painted, varnished, whatever...) and 
to polish my shoes...there is no end to the uses. 
I haven't replaced my jojoba face oil with it yet, but that may be next!
