wonderful and long overdue development. It's amazing how far they have
come and how much good they have done.

This is my favorite clothes company. Their organic cotton jeans &
merino layers are the best, actually all their clothes are absolutely
amazing & have proven indispensable when traveling, sailing,
cycling, hiking or just plain living. I feel like a kid at Christmas
when I know I'm getting something of theirs.

ingredients. Below are links to the websites of individual soapmakers
who work in UK and whose soaps contain only natural ingredients.

Handcrafted Jewellery & Cards:
There seems to be a number of trends
running in handcrafted jewellery and sometimes you might find similar
designs by different designers/makers with slight or major variations. Below are designers who all
create unique pieces even when inspired by trends & other
designers' work. I try to select and feature those who create in an
ethical and/or environmentally friendly way.
Gorgeous handcrafted jewellery. If you're looking for something special but
cannot find it here, then this is the place to go.

in a charity shop!), but which will look wonderful & be that
extra-special because you've made them yourself. US site.
