Bio

My favourite saying is 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'. I am passionate about sourcing vintage fabrics, ribbons, buttons, retro ties and other trinkets to transform into something new.

I love to search through local jumble sales, flea markets, antique and charity shops to find interesting and unusual things to include in my designs.

My designs were developed out of a desire to buck the trend of ‘buy it cheap, buy it in bulk, throw it away tomorrow’ which seems to exist today. I want to re-use and to treasure what we already have, to look at objects in a new light and to see their potential to be developed into something new and interesting.

I hope you enjoy browsing through the things I have created and might find something that you would like to take home and treasure.

Happy Hunting!

Payment

I accept Paypal only – please remember to pay within three days of purchase.

All my prices are in US Dollars but Paypal will automatically convert other currencies at checkout, so you can still buy from my shop if US Dollars are not your local currency.

Shipping

I ship items to the United States and United Kingdom only at the moment.

Your item will be shipped within 3 days of receipt of your payment.

*Items are sent to the UK via Royal Mail first class

*International orders are sent via standard airmail

Some of my items may be sent using recycled packaging to limit their environmental impact, but they will always be securely packaged and will look neat and tidy!

Returns

If you are not happy with anything you but from me, please return the item to me within 7 days. Provided the item is returned in perfect condition I will be happy to exchange or refund the item. I regret that I will not be able to refund postage and packaging costs.

Recorded delivery or proof of postage is highly recommened, as I cannot accept responsibility for packages lost in transit.

Gift Wrapping

Gift wrapping can be added to any order at no extra cost.
