 I have been nesting down, hoarding all manner of gorgeous things and running a large emporium filled with local artisan work for the past four years.  It has been rewarding, comfortable and

Abandoned barbie dolls are living a new up-cycled life here. These super colourful creations arrived in my Recycled Gallery shop last week. They are re-created locally by artisan, Tally Anderson. Tally
