February The Month Of Love

Finally the mornings and evenings are getting lighter and although we have had copious amounts of rain in the last few months, today was blue Sky's and sunshine.

I am still without a shop/workroom until walls dry out so I'm still making from the kitchen table.

On a quick trip out I popped into a local antiques shop and found several lovely sewing themed items including an old metal hat box. I already own two, so I left the shop quickly before I was tempted to add to my collection !

Last week I had my pop up shop in The Old Tree House, this week I have a selection for sale in a local hair salon 'Zeitgeist' and it looks great from the outside.

[not bad inside either]

A Town Hall Affair

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whilst having my hair cut a few weeks ago I asked Debbi owner of Zeitgeist if she would be interested in a photo shoot I was thinking of putting together. So we sorted out a few details, which day, times, models etc. I then asked Shelly from Toast Photography if she was free to come over to Hebden Bridge to shoot it for me, and she was.!

 The tweed suit and jacket were kindly loaned by Libertyfreedom  urban tweed is one way of describing their fab gear. Debbi cut Kim's hair, with incredible precision and Danielle had her red hair pinned up into a great shape. All the jewellery was hand made by my pal local jewellery designer Rachel Lucie and the models had their make up expertly applied by Alison Clegg who came over from York for the morning.

I should add that I made the head wear.!

Holly my right hand girl helped me with just about everything including getting everyones lunch.She also made the heart quill you see in the picture taken by the tiled wall in the town hall stairwell.

The Town Hall is a wonderful spot for any shoot, lots of dark wood and huge windows, ours took on a real Mad Men look don't you think.?

I could wax lyrical about the shoot but I think it's better to let the pictures speak for themselves.

Cheers Shelly not sure if Patch the dog [on loan] stole the show.!
