Special Offer - 10% off - put the spring back into your step!

Spring is just around the corner – uh oh – that was quick!

I don't know about you, but for me this winter went rather quickly and I can already see hints of spring approaching. There is a distinct scent in the air, a vibe around town, people are more cheerful, the greengrocers has more variety of fruit on offer and – the WEEDS are going crazy in the garden already.

When was the last time you did just that?
In my younger days I was a keen letter writer, but when I discovered email it fell completely by the wayside.

Ok, it has been quite a while, life got in the way... seriously.
Some health issues needed attention first, but now I am back on deck - so to speak.

This is the last instalment of 'Going Green' with various ways of using fabrics - upcycling, recycling ... call it whatever way you like.
