About me / About business or organisation:: Think of myself as the 'Queen of Recycling', as from a child I have collected old buttons, beads, fabrics and lace. Since 2004 I have been designing and manufacturing jewellery made from as much recycled and vintage peices as is possible. I love to breathe new life into lost, forlorn and unloved treasures, maybe in doing so making modern day heirlooms. Recycling can be glamorous aswell as ethical. All of my materials are sourced locally and I use recycled packaging.
