I measured the amount on our wee table in the back garden and it is actually 12 deep Sad to take the decorations down but once the big tidy up is over I can get started on the new wee treasures range for 2010.I have always been a great believer in recycling even when it wasnt trendy and as a child kept little buttons and pieces of fabric for ever. Now I dont need an excuse for my obsession and can put all the bits and pieces I have hoarded over the years to good use. Yes it is the WEE TREASURES WEECYCLED Range and it will appear on this website over the next monthPlease come back from time to time and check out the new goods I will be working hard to get the samples done and the photos taken to put on the site.See you soonLynnWee Treasures x 2010-1-3T00:00:00Z
