Beautiful Handmade Birthday Cards ***************** Who doesn't love getting beautiful birthday cards? These days you would be forgiven for thinking it could be a rare thing to send or receive a birthday card with all the digital equipment we surround ourselves with.

Medallion Man I remember as a child in the 70s running around wearing my mam's fake gold medallion shouting 'medallion man, medallion man'.
