Fairy Fingers
Have just used my 'fairy fingers' to make this beautiful biscuit coloured straw up - have made for a stylist so am hoping that I have some nicer than average photo's of the finished product to show you in the near future. But in the mean time for all the milliners craving a look at something new...this straw is monumentally hard to come by now. I have a little stack of these beautiful vintage pari buntels and couldn't resist trimming in the exact same colour Italian (Milan) straw for the crown and the edge. This very delicate and slightly brittle straw required my 'fairy fingers' which was taught to me in London at Philip Somerville all those years ago !
