Crystals Pearls and French Knots

 

It's been a hectic week with ladies picking up their hat boxes filled with a wide variety of head wear. Some are off to the palace to take tea with the Queen and about 1000 other garden party guests.! The navy blue little fine straw button hat was embroidered with scarlet french knots as the trim.
Others have special family weddings and days out. I have a lady arriving from Germany on Friday to pick up her cocktail hat and it will be first time we meet.! The Navy blue and big pink silk covered button headband with a silk clutch bag has been posted to Oxford so fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow.
Lastly I was given a precious piece of old lace from a grandmas wedding dress to create a new heirloom for a bride. So it had to be stiffened and wired and cut and beaded and teased ! turned out ok I think.
