When Jayne Vaughan of The Hair Boutique in Castle St, Swansea was sorting out some old costume jewellery recently, which had become a tangled mess, she decided that instead of throwing it away she would take a few hours to sort through it and sell it in her shop and donate the proceeds to Ty Olwen, one of the charities she had been collecting for. Since then family and friends and some customers have donated old jewellery and now this is displayed in her shop window with every single item priced at 50p. Donations of jewellery have also come in from the staff of Cafe Metro at Gower College, Tycoch where her sister Sharon Gard is cook. She has already donated £230 and this is in memory of her brother in law Stuart Gard who was in Ty Olwen in November 2013. The Ty Olwen Trustees would be delighted if anybody who is planning to get rid of some of their own jewellery might like to consider donating it to Ty Olwen and drop it into Jayne’s shop and who knows pick up a bargain for themselves.
