Margaret wearing her felt hat
Margaret wearing her felt hat“Not one hat, but two!”  A winter wedding posed some problems for Margaret!  Rather than choosing one hat that matched both her coat for the church and her dress for the reception, she opted for two!  A cloche felt for the church and a tubular crin creation for the reception!

Ann wearing Sunburst

Ann wearing SunburstI was introduced to Linda when panicking about hats, fascinators and what to wear for my son's wedding this summer.  I had my lovely dress and was worrying about what to do next.  Linda took all my stress away and sorted me out with a lovely fascinator.  Beautifully matching colour, so much fun to wear and felt absolutely great.  Thank you,  Linda,  for helping me have a great day.

Whenever I wear it, it stops men and women "dead in their tracks!!" and the workmanship is excellent!
