Happy Easter

Easter weekend and today the sun is shining, although we have had very mixed days  all week from sunny and warm to cold and more like winter.

The blossom is out on some of the trees and it just makes everything look lovely.

Next Sat I will be in Lytham in Lancs at the Hopeful and Glorious event so if you are local you might like to come along and say hello.

Hats are now filling the shop and disappearing just as quick.

Hats for weddings, Ascot and lots of other glamorous events around the country as well as weddings overseas. Italy seems to be the top destination this weekend.Two so far have left the shop in there smart boxes destined for Sorrento and Rome.

So what ever you are up to this weekend enjoy the sunshine and a little chocolate.!

Wedding Preperations

March today and as we slide towards Easter that means one thing for lots of milliners.

WEDDINGS.

Lots of people get married at Easter as schools have a 2 week holiday and it's the first chance of slightly warmer weather here in the U.K. although it's never guaranteed.!

So although we are still selling warmer hats and accessories we are pushing ahead with hats for Spring weddings and here are a few from last week.

A knotted straw with asymmetrical brim and pretty print trim. A soft green button hat with hand tooled silk apple blossom and a two tone grey and ivory medium topper hat with a distressed crin trim.

All very different but then so are weddings.

Which would you choose.?

Hat Therapy loves Instagram

 

 

In the last couple of weeks I have started using instagram and find that even I can make photograph's look half decent. Here is a little selection that I have taken around the shop. I really like it's ease of use it it's another way to link up with people. On the hat front there has been some furious making going on so I will be taking some pictures of the latest pieces just off their blocks. It's that time of year when I just can't make them quick enough.!

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.
