Pelcor Accessory Collections It's strange that when you start thinking about ethical brands, they start to pop up all over the place. For example, an email from Pelcor dropped into my inbox a little while ago. Pelcor use cork. Yep, cork - a material that I wouldn't have thought of as being suitable for fashion accessories. However, cork skin is waterproof, lightweight, hypoallergenic...
Hello, how are you? I can't believe that it's Friday again already!! The days are zipping by at the moment. I'm full steam ahead with setting myself up as a freelance Graphic Designer and honestly, I can't tell you what I do all day but I'm sure as eggs doing something!

I'm joining in with Inspiration Monday over at Two...

Tinker in a calmer moment... Dear British Gas, Thank you for sending two lovely chaps to my home to fill the cavity walls with lovely warmth-keepy-inny-stuff.
