New Trims and Trinkets

After a lovely weeks break at the beach in Wales, where the sun shone every day I have come back refreshed and ready to start work with new ideas and energy.

There are still lots of weddings around to make lovely head wear for and orders for Autumn events too.

I am also making my new ideas for Autumn and winter products including hats and accessories with gorgeous tweed and wools.

Rebecca, bryony and Melissa have now left and it's always strange when my interns that have been working with me for such a long time no longer breeze through the door every morning.

However I am now working with Helena and Evangeline and we are busy with many projects.

I must admit it's the time of year when I am busy planning Christamas which always seems far to early but must be done.

Sewing and More Sewing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Autumn has arrived and the leaves are now putting on a glorious show. It's a lovely time of year I love it when all the trees start to change colour every day it seems. I drive though a woodland area most days and if the sky is blue the trees seem to glow. I collected a few and popped them in a vase on the kitchen table to enjoy the colours inside as well.

I have autumn /winter orders coming in now as well as winter weddings which I personally love working on as it normally requires wool felts and more sculptural pieces.

I also have to get ready for some up coming events, The Art Market in Holmfirth Nov 23rd/24th

East Riddelston Hall Wedding fair Sunday 10th Nov, a local charity fashion show next Friday and my own Christmas fair which is always the first Sat of December as I celebrate another year at the shop.

I did hear on the radio just how many weeks until Christmas it is today, but I tried to ignore it.!

I almost forgot to say do you like my new business cards.?

Lace Buttons and wool

 

I made a quick trip to buy a few pieces of fabric that I needed this week and of course left with more than was on my list. The braids are very fine and lovely quality, I intend to use them on a few bridal head pieces.
The grey wool cloth is for a mans cap and I am hoping that there will be enough of the checked fabric left as I would love a shoulder bag for myself....famous last words.!
Lastly the pink buttons are Italian and so pretty with a lovely sheen to them. I am going to wire them into twists and use as a trim..picture at some point will make more sense.
