Almost Christmas

Christmas shopping

So I managed it, two venues here at the shop and The Hepwoth Gallery Wakefield. Both Sat and Sun with enough hats and accessories to stock Macy's. As it had been my shop's anniversary the week before I really wasn't sure I could pull it off but with help from my interns Evangeline and Yessica, plus my sister who came to look after the shop and knitted like a lunatic.Gorgeous Merino beanies by the dozen.

But all went well the Winter Fair was wonderful and I met many lovely talented people as well as lots of lovely people who came and spent their money on a range of delightful stalls.

So now it's the last week before the Christmas rush so I am finishing off orders as quick as I can and adding to the stock in the shop.Sherry at the ready for the weekend.!

In other news after searching for a very long time for a stockman mannequin I found one in a new shop that has opened a few doors down from me so I purchased it popped it under my arm and walked it back to the shop.What a find. 

Keep Me Warm winter Hat

 

 

It's great to have a warm pull on hat  that will slip into your bag. Here's a pink and black wool cap and a red boiled wool cap both look great on and suit most face shapes.On the pink there is a lovely vintage buckle and a ripple trim in red with three buttons.
Both have silky linings and will not itch your head just keep you warm. Both cost 45GBP get in touch if it's your cup of tea and I will make you one....or two.!

Head Candy

Here's two more designs ready to sell on my shop at what I always wanted online with lots of other designs in various colours. These two are both on a silk headband which is easy to wear. With lots of lovely hand made items to view it's well worth a visit to what I always wanted.

Winter Headwear

We all wish winter wouldn't come around so soon but there is always the plus of winter dressing.
Hats always come in handy when it's cold especially if you have to wait for a bus or train on your way to and from work.
I am busy making lots of winter hats, like the felt cloche above and the simple cord beret with a vintage buckle and as it's time for pulling out your warmer coat, why not add a great looking hat.
Here in the u.k. we have been promised a week of warmer weather but you can never tell till you wake up.

Warm Winter Knitted Hats

It's been too cold for early September, so everyone has been pulling out their warmer coats and for those of us who love our hats it's the perfect opportunity for a new everyday warm hat.
No need to pass on style either, I always have a lovely selection of berets and simple pull on knitted styles in the shop.
All beautifully made by my sister, in wool or wool blends. The top hat is a 1920's style cloche with little flaps that sit out to the side when worn.The beret has a vintage buckle and liberty print trim. Lastly the fine 4 ply beret has a pretty cabled band and button holes down one side to which I have added little vintage shell buttons for fastening.
So if you are shy about wearing a hat try a simple little warm hat at first and before you know it you will have your own collection. Keep warm.!

Smart and simple Cap

This lovely little cap is made from a black/pink tweed which is very soft.
It ties at the back for an easy fit and feminine touch.
Great for any outfit,plus if you wake up to a bad hair day,just grab your cap and you are good to go.
