Help support a worthy cause..

The Earth Education Project is a charity dedicated to empowering women from the La Chureca Community in Nicaragua. Central Americas largest open air rubbish dump.

They believe that using art and creativity can help educate and empower the people of this community, and give them a brighter future. We here at Golborne Place give The Earth Education Project our full support and would love to spread awareness of such a worthy cause.

We carry a range of greeting cards and gift bags from the charity, made by the women of Nicaragua. Made with 100% recycled hand made paper and recycled aluminium these cards are hand painted and all unique.. Not to mention gorgeous! 

Check out their website for more information: www.eartheducationproject.org

Nora Monkman...

Some of our regulars may remember Nora's beautiful collection of dresses and blazers when we opened in May 2009. For those of you who don't, Nora Monkman is an Argentinian designer working with fabrics, clothing and graphic design. She has a beautiful home and studio in Buenos Aires and we have some gorgeous photographs from her place...we think it would fit right in on Golborne Road!
















Here is Nora's working studio, I'm so jealous!...







Below is Nora's showroom exhibiting her clothing line, fabrics and stationary...



Nora designs our calendars for Golborne Place so if you would like a small piece of Nora's work please ask at reception as we still have some left. Nora will also be designing our 2012 calendar.
