I'm making crafts including jewellery and home decor from stuff which would otherwise be thrown away, or is second hand. I have always had a concern for the environment, human rights and animal welfare, and am a compulsive hoarder!! All of these are coming together in this exciting new venture for me, as the amount of waste nowadays is scandalous. I love being able to turn it into something beautiful, and learning new skills to enable me to do so. I package all items in re-used bags (e.g. the ones magazines and greetings cards come in), and use recycled paper paper carriers. Things I am currently using - please save them and let me know where to pick them up - many thanks! Unwanted nail varnish
