Pay it Forward
Cast in Style have decided to begin their own version of Pay it Forward. We were inspired some time ago by the film Pay it Forward and have now come up with our own contribution. How are Cast in Style going to go about this? Firstly we are going to simply start the process by giving each of our customers a free gift with all orders placed in August. After that it is up to the customer to keep the ball (or Cast with a Smile) rolling. We have always believed in the kindness in human nature and our ability to affect everyone by our actions. We believe in very small ways we can create big changes, just by the knowledge of what we do today affects all our tomorrows. To Pay it Forward simply means if you receive a gift with your order it will have tied to it a Cast with a Smile Tag, with a smiley face and the message you've been tagged by Cast in Style, please pay it forward. Then the choice is yours, you can either keep the gift and pay forward a gift of your own to someone else, OR , pass on the gift asking the recipient to do the same pass it on or pass on a gift of their own to someone else. The tags may be used each time you wish to pay it forward.Thats all there is to it!If you recieve a tag in your parcel then, enjoy the art of Paying it Forward and we wish you a Cast with Smile day.

Keep Up The Good Work

www.castinstyle.co.uk would just like to wish all the best to Eddie and Dan today as they set off for a 50mile trek as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Gold award. Although cooking with cast iron is recommended for camp fires and camping, were sure in this case the pair of you have enough to carry. Cast iron might be great for camp cooking but maybe not for the backpackers eh? So we know you'll be looking for some of Mum and Dad's good home cooking when you return and have had your fill of protien bars. So we've put together some griddle recipes to temp your taste buds, cooked on the griddle to add a bit of extra iron to your food and give you some of your strength back.http://www.castinstyle.co.uk/product.php/378/13/

The Heat Is Off

Things at cast in style have been pretty hot this week as we're sure is the same for most people in the U.K. Is it global warming that's responsible? and if so it begs us all to do our bit for the environment in any way we can. If we're not already contributing to our wonderful planet and taking care of it, then maybe the heat will allow us to reflect a little on how much we rely on the balance being maintained. How are we helping? Here at cast in style we use wood from sustainable sources in our clothes airers, research ways to help the environment and pass on a traditional hard to find product, which means people are encouraged little by little to become a bit more environmentally friendly. For every airer we sell someone is able to use natural heat to dry a whole load of washing overnight. We love our planet and wish you all a day in which you may keep clean and cool.

Sun Maid

The Sun Maid Airer

The Sun is still here, an ideal time to use your sun maid on your patio or balcony, if you have one.
We love this neat effective way of drying clothes indoors or out.
Great for balconies in those warm sunny climes, if your fortunate enough to own a holiday home as well.
It can also be used for hanging other decorative items like hanging plants or wind chimes. The lathes are very light in weight but strong enough to accomodate wet jeans. Each lath can be used individually or all together making a lovely fan shape out from the wall it's affixed to . The shape is just like the suns rays, hence the name the sun maid.
