New Look Very Soon

This last week has been great, cold with blue skies and plenty of sunshine. What a difference a little sunlight makes in your life!

Last Saturday a lovely lady called Sarah  {simply by arrangement} delivered me a beautiful flower arrangement for the shop filled with many of my favourite flowers and foliage. I am still enjoying it as it's good and cold near the window keeping it fresh.

The shop is still open until the builders arrive and although it's a little dusty it is enjoying the sunshine pouring in through the windows.

Making continues with orders and ladies looking for hats for weddings so there's plenty to do.

Ed from Snug Gallery next door has loaned me the oak table with the carved legs, stunning isnt it? There's been lots of planning for the new interior and now things are coming together, still a million things to source but Rome wasn't built in a day !

February The Month Of Love

Finally the mornings and evenings are getting lighter and although we have had copious amounts of rain in the last few months, today was blue Sky's and sunshine.

I am still without a shop/workroom until walls dry out so I'm still making from the kitchen table.

On a quick trip out I popped into a local antiques shop and found several lovely sewing themed items including an old metal hat box. I already own two, so I left the shop quickly before I was tempted to add to my collection !

Last week I had my pop up shop in The Old Tree House, this week I have a selection for sale in a local hair salon 'Zeitgeist' and it looks great from the outside.

[not bad inside either]

Pop Up Shop

Tomorrow Sat 6th February I will be walking down the Street to The Old Tree House toy shop to organise a little Hat Therapy 'Pop Up Shop' and I will be Open  from 12pm till 5pm.
Pop in and try on hats and accessories or just a little hat chat if you love a great hat.

Let's Make Marvelous Hats

Working from my kitchen table is now the norm {for the moment} its a bit of a faff, but it's a space to work from so it will do.

As my living room is now bursting with millinery equipment and supplies it is sometimes really hard to locate what you need. However this week there has been much making, blocking and trimming.

All pieces with spring and summer in mind, there is light blue, pale grey, soft lilac and straw mixes to name but a few.

My images are not as sharp as I'd like them to be but it's basically been dark most of the week and I no longer have a 'spot' to take images from so please bear with me for a while.

My funding page is going well and thank you very very much if you have donated I really appreciate every penny, and it will be used to restore things back to normality, what ever that is!

Nice to keep the blog going, at least on here I can tidy up my mess if I make one, Chrissie x
