Vintage Display Flea Markets, Paris

I was in Paris in May this year and took these photo's in the flea markets on a wet rainy day.

My Window Today June 2009

I'm always happy to snap photo's of other peoples windows and have now decided to do a periodical photo of our windows from now on as I do the odd pretty good window and it's nice for all you folks out of town to get a look ! This window (as we are in winter mode) is all winter white and red. So this post will be the very first of a series, would love your comments.

Some Recent Work - studio photo's

Red Bride

A lovely red bride - this was a great colour and I made this headpiece with a detachable gold veil so that it could be removed after the ceremony and just the red floral clip worn.

How to set a veil on fascinator

Here is another bride ! This looks great it is my 'Hollywood Glam' Hair clip - like a small floral garland either worn close to the head as seen here or at the back of an up do (see Bridal Headpiece in clients own fabric). This particular one I have added small amount of vintage very fine veiling and this is how I got the effect just right. Veiling is placed and pinned as illustrated on my trusty poupe (milliners mannequin) and steamed into place thus creating round line away from the face. I will be adding photo's of the bride on her wedding day just as soon as I can.

Swarovski Crystal Detail

Usually I hand make the details and thought you might like to see the gradual build up to the finished product.


I often use swarovski crystail detail in my work as it adds the 'hollywood glamour' edge to any piece. I have added some recent examples including a floral -tie-belt and a couple of green and cream headbands.


I often have to make to order various hair clips in different colours when a client orders and here are some examples of the different colour ways I have made over the past day or so. I Love the original in soft cream and pink however the white version which is for a bride is so pristine (also love the red version for the drama) - these clips are my latest design using flowers that are made for me in Europe and evoke another era. My work is often vintage inspired and here is the 1940's !! Usually I hand make the details and thought you might like to see the gradual build up to the finished product.

Diamante Headband with Satin Ribbon

Latest design hot off the press for the burlesque girl. A double headband in black satin with double diamante bows. Just the perfect headband to add some glamour to your wardrobe.
