Merry Christmas Everybody

Well it's that time of the year to sign off and wish everyone a very happy Christmas and all good things for the new year.

Thanks to everyone who have been to the shop and bought gifts or visited me at various fairs and on line it's much appreciated.

The new year will bring new ideas and designs as well as the start of the wedding season so I look forward to seeing clients old and new.

Just in case there are a few last minute present hunters I will be open chistmas eve from 10am till 1.30 when I will then close for a break and re open Tues Jan 9th.

Have a wonderful Festive break.

December Dates & Shop Hours

Hello it's going to be a busy month and I expect everyone has a list as long as their arm.

My month of December kicks off with my birthday on the 1st and then on Sat 2nd I will have been open 12 years. [fanfare]

Can't quite believe that it will be 12 years but time flies when you are busy doesn't it.

I'd like to say thank you to all those who have supported me by buying hand made and spreading the word one way or another. Many clients have been visiting over this period and still continue to purchase from me so a huge thank you for that.

Also during December I shall be open on Sundays from 12 till 4 and there will be mulled wine and festive nibbles during the weekends while you browse. They say it's going to get really cold so a glass or two should warm you up. The shop is now dressed for the festive period as you can see and smells lovely with all the fresh greenery.

Saturday 2nd December the shop will be open from 10.30 till 5pm as usual but I will be at The Ripponden Christmas Fair from 11am till 6pm. Looks like it will be a lovely festive event with lots of artisan stalls to buy your gifts from.

Sunday while the shop is open I will be off to Altrincham to the very special Little Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.

Anyone who has been to the larger event in Manchester will know how good these gatherings are so expect only the best in a range of wears available from the selection of makers there.

Last but by no means least I will also be at the East Riddlesden Christmas fair on Sunday 17th December which will be held in their wonderful barn. It's a lovely spot if you've never been.

So hope to see some familiar faces over the next 4 weeks if you are visiting Hebden Bridge.

Merry Christmas from the Hat Shop

 

 

All my Christmas orders are just about done and I have a bowler hat order to finish for the weekend. There has been lots of accessories made and bought as well as hats in just about every colour you can think of.
This weekend will be busy but I have still time to make a few more lovely things for the shop.
This year the decorations are all made from hand cut pieces of felt with a bird, berry and leaf theme in rich warm colours.
You can see from this post that the shop has had a re paint in very different shades from my black and red that I've had for 7 years, but I really love it and it keeps much cleaner.!

In January I shall begin making hats for spring events and weddings and will be very busy creating a special range of wedding designs for the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza in March. I hope to take lots of pictures as they are created, everything will be made from unusual materials so don't forget to pop back in January to see what I'm up to.
That just leaves me to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy new year and a big thank you for reading my little blog.
