*Quick Announcement*     Hello to all our customers and followers - just to let you know from the week beginning of the 15th March, Remade Reloved will no longer be run as a marketplace and it will revert to being a place for me to feature my own products and passion for upcycling so I would be thrilled if you want to continue to follow me.  The Marketplace concept was a way to bring together creative people over the Christmas period to sell their products in view of lockdown and it’s been amazing to have been able to facilitate...
