On August 3rd 2009 I lost my Brother Alan to a most dreadful Industrial disease Asbestosis. For months we watched in vain as he faided and became to frail to carry on his fight for other sufferers of Plural Plaques.......alas then there was knothing we could do to elevate his suffering.
Elaine his daughter and my niece has now picked up the baton here's her story...

It's a terrible thing watching your Dad die.
It's even worse when you know that the reason he's sick is because of asbestos. My Dad died of Mesothelioma, and like many men and women he developed it after suffering from Pleural Plaques; a deep scaring of the lungs caused by asbestos.My Dad was fortunate as he was given compensation. This meant that, before he got ill, the money gave him the chance to make the best of the worst of situations. But thanks to the decision of three unelected Law Lords, compensation for conditions like my Dad's has been taken away. Now people diagnosed with Pleural Plaques - often caused entirely by asbestos exposure at work - cannot claim a penny. It's a disgrace.My Dad gave many of his final hours to campaigning for justice for Pleural Plaque victims, he's not around anymore so I've taken up the fight on his behalf. The Government are making a decision on Pleural Plaques right now and I need your help to make sure they make the right decision. Please take a moment to email Alistair Darling and Peter Mandelson now.It's horrible to see someone you love go through such a painful death; you feel so powerless. When I was growing up I thought my Dad could do anything, but his disease changed all of that.And it's because I saw the help that compensation gave to my family, I know the real cost the families who don't receive compensation will have to pay.My Dad was always a Labour man and stuck with them through thick and thin. Now I need your help to make sure that this Labour Government do the right thing for the thousands of men and women who suffer from Pleural Plaques.Please take a moment to send the politicians a message and join our call for justice:http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/page/m/6e20ef78/6e22da17/3c1ff8ea/524f476a/2136369395/VEsC/I've taken on this fight for my Dad - it was his final wish. I hope you join us.Thank you for reading my email,Elaine ClarkP.S. If you want to learn more about my Dad and his story he's in this video: http://unionstogether.org.uk/justice

Hi and Good Morning all.

I'm having to close the 'Christmas Corset' Order book a week early as my book is now full for this year. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all my customers of 2009 for giving / showing me their support and loyalty by ordering / purchasing from me through what has been for many a difficult year. Lets hope 2010 proves to be a better and prosperous year for us all. I will be re-opening the corset order book on January 8th 2010

Its been an extreamly busy week this past week, and I've been meaning to post here about the Pickering WWII War Weekend. What a wonderful experience it is to attend. Not just an adult event lots of children took part in the dressing up too! Fantastic for a day out if you can't make the full weekend, just milling around listening to chatter and song from days gone by, watching all those glamourous Ladies and Gents in their vintage finery, which has inspired me no end I can tell you. I have so many ideas rushing around my head its almost making me giddy.

The main High Street was absolutely heaving with people and I think what makes it more special is that there is a mix of both modern day with the spirit of the war years. I loved the chap who was dressed up as a child with his labels and gas mask, dressed up with his partner also in her vintage finery possibly as his mum. As each chap in uniform walked by he asked, " Are you me dad?".... My hubby and I met some lovely Irish lads in the pub, but where else hey, they dropped into Pickering on a recommendation and said that they had never seen anything like this event, whereby lots of people embraced the atmosphere and celebration of the weekend and did their bit to make it pretty much a step back in time. As they prepared to camp up in Goathland the local's let them stay in the village hall, how very accomodating was that typically British I should say. These chaps did a lot of re-enactments all over Ireland and Britain with military attire and weaponary, although they didn't bring their tanks and guns this time, but deffinately said they would be returning next year.

I can see this event getting bigger and better every year, we're looking now for next years dates, so we can book up early. there was so much we didn't do this year, the tea dance's which I think took place on the Friday and Saturday night's in the school hall, there are other things happening too in the local villages. Most if not all the pubs have something for everyone to join in with, sing-a-longs to old 40's WWII songs. The music is happening all day long in the streets too with people finding a spot for a little public dancing.

My only criticism was finding an itinerary of what was on/happening and where was most difficult! we arrived just a little too late to see the procession through Pickering...please organisers could you hold on next year, many of us found parking a bit difficult especially when your not used to the area. My advise here would be allow plenty of time and get there well before ten thirty!

Can't wait for this event next year..

'til we meet again...x

Woosh! the first half of this week gone already. What a busy time I've had since my last post. I'm trying to beat the Royal Mail Crash before they hold us all to ransom.

I've been busy putting the finishing touches to Commisioned Corsets, also The Faux Furs, which I might say have had a very well recieved reaction to a lot of you Glamorous Ladies out there. I am willing to post samples of this faux fur because I think Once you have felt the Quality of it you'll fall in love. Perfect for those Christmas Parties and New Years Eve Dances we'll all be going to.

Today something new to work on, I'm creating a lovely 1940's dress for a Lady who's attending the Pickering WWII weekend this weekend. Because its not far from me I think myself and the darling husband will pop over on Saturday to watch the parade's and just generally watch people milling around. Its quite a sureal experience as you have people in ordinary modern day dress but many dress in 1940's fashion. If you recognise me do pop over and say hello.

Opps...forgot to post yesterday, but it was quite a hecktic day.

I'm well on with my new corset which hopefully will be finished this weekend...Orders are coming in for the gorgeous Faux Furs, so I'm praying that Royal Mail find a resolution to there difficulties otherwise they may loose a lot of business.

Todays going to be spent working on my corsets and sorting some more bargins for ebay if your interested then go have a look at whats on there now items finish tomorrow
