Recycling and upcycling are at the heart of Swirly Arts. Vintage fabrics, papers and discarded objects find a new lease of life as doorstops, badges, envelopes, gift tags and brooches.

I picked out a few of my favourites to share. I’m loving the London map gift tags. And who could resist the orange paisley cheeky chicken? Fill him with rice to create a nifty doorstop.

These pretty tees have been created for a certain kind of woman:- complex, independent, flirtatious and romantic. If that’s you then check out the full line at Every Little Counts.

The collection consists of limited edition screen-printed t-shirts with loose fit and low necklines, combined with esoteric and romantic graphics.

They’re feminine, quirky, sassy and fun.
