Couture Millinery, hand made for you
Every so often I go off on a tangent and get a little excited by the things we can create. It was one of those moments when I made this……:-) I started by making a cala lily flower, not necessarily with the view for it to be used in a design, I just wanted to …

I like the elegance of this fascinator. It’s burnt pheasant feathers, all twisted together on a hair clip. It makes a statement, without being over powering. And where all of the lovely feathers meet each other, they is a cluster of Swarovski crystals and pearls to add a pretty central point. This is a very …

Here is another lovely hat that was featured in my Spring / Summer 2012 collection. It’s a nude straw base and I love the simplicity of the design, but that it also has a lot of movement to it, without being really “in your face!” If you know what I mean 🙂 I like …

So it’s probably not a massive secret that whilst I have been running my website and business for some time, I have always been doing this part time and fitting it in with my full time day job. This has lead to a challenging year, as I have been putting in 40+ hours per week …
