March Madness

Last week was all the sewing and hat making as usual but I also had a photo shoot of some new hats and head wear, a Charity event and my new hat boxes arrived. 

My very clever pal Shelly of  Toast Of Leeds came over with her magic camera and together with the lovely Lucy of  I am Lucille who wore some of here own creations and also some vintage dresses

plus gorgeous jewellery made by my friend  Rachel Lucie

Shelly has taken some amazing photographs in Lucy's studio in Hebden Bridge,

when I recive images I shall blog and shout about them. 

These few shots were taken on my phone so the quality isn't great but it gives you a flavour of whats to come.

My new hat boxes also arrived a rather lovely simple shade of Ivory with simple almost tea stained twisted rope handles.... NICE.! Looks great with the big new logo HT in the centre.

So this week we head towards Easter and I shall be getting ready to go to Lythan St Annes in Lancashire where I will be a part of Hopefull and Glorious Easter event.

Best get sewing.! 

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.!
