Do you remember Lucy King!? You should! She is awesome. You have seen her illustrations and jewellery design here, and you have even snooped inside her home here!
AND now, you get to see Lucy all week on the Guest Blog!
Lucy has a passion for recycled, re-purposed and re-used design (I am still getting used to the 'upcycle' term... still seems a bit weird to me, I think I will stick with 're-purposed' for now :)
ANYWAY you have never seen such brilliant examples of recycled and re-purposed design! Ms King is definitely an expert in the field! This week she'll share a brilliant round-up of homewares, furniture and jewellery finds, all of which re-use found materials in some way.
Pats on the back all round to Lucy and the brilliant Jenny B who dreamed up this excellent re-design round-up idea. Genius!
Make sure you pop over to the Guest Blog this week for Lucy's fantastic finds! (and please leave a comment if you like her work! She would love to hear from you!) x
