AN upcycling business will throw its doors open for visitors this weekend to see how they turn scrap into quirky home accessories.
Karen Riley and Donna Feeney set up their business, Totes Adore, last year selling clocks, tableware, cheeseboards and drizzle bottles all made from items that would have otherwise thrown on the scrapheap.
They have since gone from strength to strength and recently went up against hundreds of other entrepreneurs at the British Design Open Call in London, for the chance to have their products stocked at Liberty of London.
The pair are holding an open day at their base in Levys Industrial Estate, in Darlington, tomorrow (Saturday, September 20) where samples of their new massage candles will also be on offer.
The event runs from 10am to 4pm in unit seven. For more information visit totesadore.com
