Invite Your World
Knebworth, Herts UK - Elizabeth Adams from Invite Your World will be exhibiting at this years Salvo Fair, following a successful fair last year. Invite Your World has a variety of material envelopes, cushions and handkerchiefs with personalised messages, and new products are always emerging.
Elizabeth said, "A childhood spent rifling through other peoples junk started a fascination for all things old and neglected. Lots of moving started a passion for packing everything up, paying special attention to things that must not get broken or lost. Creating little hidey-holes and secret messages, safe houses for memories and keepsakes."
The products are made from end of the roll discarded fabric and printed in the UK by herself her Mum, Aunt and Cousin.

Inquest on builder's death
Poole, UK - Stephen Ford, who was working on the demolition of a barn, died after part of barn wall hit him on the head. His son, Jamie, was working with him at the time at Dunbury Farm House in Winterborne Houghton, when the tragedy happened in November 2008. Giving evidence at the Dorchester inquest, his son said, “I was standing on the rubble facing the wall drilling right to left. Me and my dad were chatting now and then. A big lump came off, I looked to see where it landed and saw my dad laying on the floor face up on the rubble."
The cause of death was recorded as head and chest injuries from being hit very hard on the back of the head.
Jamie told the inquest he believed all safety equipment would be on site, but neither man was wearing a hard hat.

Baron yields castle after 500 yrs
Craighall Castle, Scotland UK - After 500 years the Rattray clan have sold Craighall Castle to Sassenach, a London investment banker for an undisclosed sum. He plans to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on the dilapidated pile and turn it into his own family home.
Lachlan Rattray of Rattray also took on the task of restoring the ancient building through the 1990s, and he ran an architectural salvage business from the castle during the restoration. Since 2001, Lachlan has travelled the UK as the "Bath Wizard", restoring old baths, but the business has failed to save the family pile from being sold.
