Edwardian Era Crime & Punishment Meets Trader Joe's ❓❓❓

Greetings fellow aficionados...
Yes, I previously revealed Trader Joe's as one of my ephemera sources for junk journals.

Trader Joe's has a new series of Edwardian era Crime & Punishment labels on the Pinot Noir - 😮! 

Sharing #junkjournal happiness and a little bit of ghoulishly Halloween earliness, sort of.


7 - Tips for removing labels. 

1. Remove the contents from the bottle or jar. Wash it but be gentle on the label. 

NOTE: If you don't remove the contents rust might form underneath metal lids and or seep into the container. You will not be able to use the contents safely. 

2. Prepare a deep dish or pan with cold water and add a couple small drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid. 

3. Place the label face down into the deepest depths of the water solution. 

4. Allowed to soak for at least 4 hours or more. 

5. After 4 hour test to see if you can easily remove the label by starting at a corner and  gently peeling back the label. Start in the corner that will cause the least amount of destruction to the label. The label should easily peel or slide off without any resistance. 

6. If there is resistance soak another couple hours and repeat until the label comes free from the bottle or jar. 

7. Place the label on a dry paper towel face DOWN and allowed it to air completely before storing or using.
