Festive News

It's been a while since I last blogged so I thought I'd load plenty of images to let you see what I've been up to.

This year I have been holding a millinery class on a thursday evening which has been lovely only 3 students per class so plenty of individual attention.

I have a Furoshiki class on Sunday 17th November.

This is the Japanese art of wrapping gifts with a scarf or cloth.

Fabulous day with a delicious lunch and full of surpises. It's a complete passion of mine and I first learnt how to wrap things when I lived in Bangkok and a friend had a Japanese neighbor.

Get in touch if you'd like to book.

Only 2 spaces left.

I will have gift vouchers for Milliner's Apprentice for the day.

Spend the day with me and be involved in all things millinery.

General gift voucher and Millinery classes.

These can be posted too.

I think that's all my news including my celebration day at the shop on November the 30th can't believe I will be starting my 15th year of business. Time flys doesn't it.

The Harewood House Christmas Market is going to be a lovely event with lots of makers selling some really good quality crafts.

So of course I am making all manor of hats and accessories in wools and warmer fabrics as it really is turning colder isn't it.

Perfect Hat weather!

CHRISTMAS At The Hepworth

Last weekend I took a selection of my hats and accessories to The Winter Fair at The Hepworh in Wakefield.

It was a very busy two days with over 500 visitors on the Saturday. My market neighbours also had wonderful things for sale, print makers, ceramicists and other artist.s

I met lots of lovely people including a couple who had travelled from London for the day to start their Christmas shopping, they had read about it in The Guardian and decided to visit.

I also spoke to a couple of ladies wearing hats they bought from me last year !

I managed a quick walk up in the woods around Hebden to clear my thoughts and the light was just beautiful. Always a good idea when you need a little peace and quite.

Now this week I'm concentrating on my 10th Anniversary celebration at the shop On Saturday 5th December so if you are not too far away please feel free to pop in for drinks and posh nosh from 10am till 5pm.

So far this week as well as stocking the shop with lots of hats and gift ideas I have made cardboard chandeliers for this year's festive decorations. 

Must go and keep making lots to do and the days seem to fly by at the moment.
