Happy Easter

Easter weekend and I hope this lovely sunshine will continue. Early in the week I was in Helmsley in North Yorkshire and the weather was beautiful. I took a few pictures of inspiring spots and the light was paticularly pretty.
Hat making continues with some interesting bespoke pieces and lots of everyday cotton hats. This lunchtime the postman arrived with a few roll up Panama hats in various shades and they are all gorgeous. Pop in soon  if you fancy one they sell very quickly.  Happy Easter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Re Trim your Hat

 

I often re trim hats for clients who have hats that they need trimming in another colour. Sometimes it is quite a simple trim and other times it can be a very elaborate re trim involving all sort of millinery trickery.
This little paper Panama trilby was a perfect example of just how a re trim can change a hat.
It originally had a black ribbon around it, and is now covered in hand sewn pearls and crystals with white raw silk on the edge of the brim,around the crown and lining.
It will be heading to the Henley Festival early next month and will be perfect for the midnight picnics under the stars. Lets hope it stops raining.!
