A Lovely Weekend

So Last Sat and Sun I was at Lythall Hall which was a lovely place on the flyde coast.

The weather was good and there were many visitors to the craft fair.

Together with my friends Rachel Lucie and Cathy Edwards we made our corner of the room look great.

I made many new items to take with me from bags to hats and accessories.

The first hat I sold was a very sharp looking felt trilby and the lady just fell in love with it, In fact she just sat for a good 10 minutes just happy in her own little hat bubble, then left with her hat box feeling very happy.

My mustard bag was a big hit and linen hats and pashminas sold well.

So It's back to the shop now and after a big tidy up and move around of tables and selections I am now getting ready for East Riddlesden Hall as I am showing my wedding range on Sunday.

I am just about to make a bridal headpiece now so I better get going.

Scottish Tweed And Pretty Buttons

 

I was offered a lovely piece of Scottish wool tweed last week and as soon as I got it back in the workroom I was eager to cut out a pattern and make something straight away.

It made a smart little cap and a neck wrap and there is still some left to create a few extra pieces.

On Sunday I went to a wedding fair and it was very busy with lots of lovely people.

I made several new hats to take with me including a little button with grey lace and vintage buttons.

I actually sold one hat which is very unusual at a fair as people are normally getting ideas but a lady fell in love and had to take it home.!

This week I need to make the start of my Christmas decorations and lots of stock as I will be holding a festive celebration at the shop on the 29th of November from 10am to 5pm.

The shop will be 9 and I will be....... quite old.

So pop in if you can there'll be drinks, tastie bites to eat and lots of merriment.
