<h2>
<b>Wednesday 18<sup>th</sup> April was the
night we had all been waiting for… </b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The launch of our brand new vintage party planning service
“An Era of Experience”. I’ve been teasing you all with little snippets about An
Era of Experience over the last few months so now finally, I cannot wait to put
my words into pretty pictures and let you all in on our secret.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last Wednesday we invited 5 key bloggers and publications to
our official launch of An Era of Experience. I’m quite new to this whole
rubbing shoulders with the press/bloggers business! However I have to say, all
of the ladies and one gent that attended An Era of Experience press launch were
so lovely.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was no dress rehearsal or practice runs, this was it, this
was showtime! Despite the last minute hiccups of emergency lighting, extension
lead and haven’t-a-clue-how-to-work-a-projector-screen, the event went so well
that it ended up feeling like a social with friends rather than a scary press
review!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The preparation for the event was intense. Bethany kindly
gave us all a vintage makeovers at her home salon to ensure we all flirted a
finger-wave! We all arrived at And The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon in our
beautiful vintage gowns and sensible flat shoes with bags and bags of
accessories to dress the room. We set to work at 4:00pm, munching on fish n
chips as we worked. It must have looked pretty peculiar to anyone looking in!
HaHa!<o:p></o:p></div>

breathe. Our evening began with press arriving at promptly as instructed at

Once everyone had had a tipple and a nibble, I gathered
everyone around my table of trinkets and trims and started my Flapper headdress
workshop. <o:p></o:p>I tried to incorporate the deep purple and antique gold
colour ways used in our artwork into my fabric and embellishment selection. I
always think it is important to continue a theme where possible and found these
colours really worked for the flapper style headwear.</div>

All of the latest editions to my collection will be appearing on my Etsy shop very soon so do keep checking back. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nicolawellard">http://www.etsy.com/shop/nicolawellard</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><o:p></o:p></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqHL2uJ_DUZUsvbVHtKt6TrSZiK7eEvNzeBxiW1UIeJlZ3v4TyP04O8199K2wReBIYm95LutSuYOzEEzO5Lty8OmY3QVr0Exyaw5MXVCHW38Bk730Ieak3zCkNSU2akP9DPC3K26qMDM/s1600/TWC_accessories_lores_046.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqHL2uJ_DUZUsvbVHtKt6TrSZiK7eEvNzeBxiW1UIeJlZ3v4TyP04O8199K2wReBIYm95LutSuYOzEEzO5Lty8OmY3QVr0Exyaw5MXVCHW38Bk730Ieak3zCkNSU2akP9DPC3K26qMDM/s400/TWC_accessories_lores_046.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724534211412431122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQdgj01CBU4yKFGPtlm0NxFVeELQBlXUhsGop4DaXkKcmR4SIcCE3ySl7fNPTb4i192AUNrasaB7clKHk3h1EP7nDNekdSCSygVy4g8NNFgr6ys9iuAEgNKfWv47cx7JJ7ZHfSIlkOw5Y/s1600/TWC_accessories_lores_030.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQdgj01CBU4yKFGPtlm0NxFVeELQBlXUhsGop4DaXkKcmR4SIcCE3ySl7fNPTb4i192AUNrasaB7clKHk3h1EP7nDNekdSCSygVy4g8NNFgr6ys9iuAEgNKfWv47cx7JJ7ZHfSIlkOw5Y/s400/TWC_accessories_lores_030.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724534121761938994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfAyIccTY-ss_0Xnp6JpqUW0zyrFNJ5GkD359hvBy8uxAdrdOE8wjXgl9V1uY8kds8E1b0juhKb0L4sOpLmyREVVJhK_QtMRuENuh9S_hlVGDFLTxTb7d5YowavkBh65BgjRPzxvKy-Ww/s1600/TWC_accessories_lores_031.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfAyIccTY-ss_0Xnp6JpqUW0zyrFNJ5GkD359hvBy8uxAdrdOE8wjXgl9V1uY8kds8E1b0juhKb0L4sOpLmyREVVJhK_QtMRuENuh9S_hlVGDFLTxTb7d5YowavkBh65BgjRPzxvKy-Ww/s400/TWC_accessories_lores_031.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724534024588732162" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ph5IcEm0OBtZiwZ0694SP8jvcdTiz9BnudhQD1umSmd7E8Q8WAeY9hk9UEnCKp6BBJOBqDZzEZCVMoI38Ieb9c_fWSPjDWLiOW_ux3a_xTQBxD2YfeCC2KSWURJT3yAFmjkuAnm2cpA/s1600/TWC_accessories_lores_033.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ph5IcEm0OBtZiwZ0694SP8jvcdTiz9BnudhQD1umSmd7E8Q8WAeY9hk9UEnCKp6BBJOBqDZzEZCVMoI38Ieb9c_fWSPjDWLiOW_ux3a_xTQBxD2YfeCC2KSWURJT3yAFmjkuAnm2cpA/s400/TWC_accessories_lores_033.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724533929361324322" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span>I’m hoping to host another “Meet the Designer” event at The White Closet in the Autumn season to launch my Silver Sixpence in her Shoe third collection.

And so organised too. One lady came and made her very own mini headpiece complete with orange polka dot theme tied in ( always something to suit everyone in all my jars and pots of haberdashery!) She wasn't getting married until 2014! I was never that together about my own wedding!<br /><br />So I am looking forward to getting going on the consultations and bespoke pieces for the brides to be once 2012 kicks off!<br /><br />In addition <a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/vintage-style-parties/">Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe parties</a> and <a href="http://www.airyfairycupcakes.co.uk/classes/crafty-classes/vintage-inspired-classes-from-silver-sixpence">workshops</a> have been going from strength to strength. We ran a mini headpiece class back in October - a new idea for thise who want to keep it simple. Then on 29th November the Xmas extravaganza vintage headpiece class was a roaring success at <a href="http://www.airyfairycupcakes.co.uk/">Airyfairy cupcake boutique</a>. I was getting all sorts of excited emails in the run up- would I have things in red/purple/gold for a moulin rouge theme.... even a bride to be wanted to come and have a go at something for her wedding.

A lovely way to pass a dreary Jan/Feb evening as lets face it, it's a miserable time of year!<br /><br />In other news I have started to get a wee bit of press which is super exciting for me! You and Your Wedding and Perfect Wedding mag both ran features on my product/brides and I took the plunge and took out an advertorial in the fabulous Brides magazine<br /><br />I chose this fab picture taken by the talented and very lovely <a href="http://blog.katylunsford.com/">Katy Lunsford</a> to feature in the ad as I felt it captured the essence of the new collection and Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe's handwriting perfectly. More on her amazing shoot in my next post but I owe this lady a debt of gratitude for her skills!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfl-9FFcs97aCEp-XUd07IrLlLqkYN6g-yyCe6BC_HzHBAp1-kDRXFbgtN3CLZZ65vFo8cGkszh2j2b25AbR3RyXAfh8eiL0-WMdoYUlAS9okJeLPvS4BdGJo0dlimg6mWgaK-JuD2jWg/s1600/IMG_7547+2T.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfl-9FFcs97aCEp-XUd07IrLlLqkYN6g-yyCe6BC_HzHBAp1-kDRXFbgtN3CLZZ65vFo8cGkszh2j2b25AbR3RyXAfh8eiL0-WMdoYUlAS9okJeLPvS4BdGJo0dlimg6mWgaK-JuD2jWg/s400/IMG_7547+2T.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684843594765076738" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqvm1KmLM117sr6nEwMU9e2uw6BnYLzROVBjPGxDIH6Z1AdovTPk95c2HSnsMfZBSuObOmlEmveKW4xKeq2ymmP7z2iyq3tKNYP1iMeSJpGWuW_SzJvAxN3Z2AAt8uO5ZkFFLC5YW20LE/s1600/DSC05104.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqvm1KmLM117sr6nEwMU9e2uw6BnYLzROVBjPGxDIH6Z1AdovTPk95c2HSnsMfZBSuObOmlEmveKW4xKeq2ymmP7z2iyq3tKNYP1iMeSJpGWuW_SzJvAxN3Z2AAt8uO5ZkFFLC5YW20LE/s400/DSC05104.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684838458137899698" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So onto 2012, there will be lots of new things going on here at Silver Sixpence headquarters in the coming months so watch this space!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTA417reTVbUts9Vwht7qjFA2Qrd927kQJJHyKmt-JTziIlFXx23Cqc9C0XkpYfqHbN8LiBej047KkLNpw30cHHn3umwe1v9BqXgbGSlTcaWBzqRK_mLWEZ1HeFMBNrjdyPlRWpYUR-i8/s1600/styallodge_open_lores_035.jpg"></a>Nicolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12985321309708655563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353979387986590708.post-8686649621744185162011-10-22T01:48:00.000-07:002011-11-30T14:20:56.108-08:00Holly, just in time for Xmas!Ah, such a massively overdue post tonight. I don't even like to think when I last updated the blog, it's shameful. However on the plus side I have been very busy- full update post coming soon.....don't quote me. So that is my excuse.<br /><br />The lovely bride featured tonight is Holly from Sheffield. She has kindly sent me some of her gorgeous wedding day pics to blog. I first met Holly back in February this year at my very first day back at work post baby, and my very first wedding fair! <a href="http://www.vintageweddingfair.co.uk/Chester.html">The Vintage Wedding Fair</a> in Harrogate to be precise. Loving the idea of a birdcage veil and all sorted with her stunning<a href="http://www.justinalexanderbridal.com/index.php"> Justin Alexander</a> dress we made a plan to meet post fair for a consultation. One Saturday morning later, Holly decided on her <a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/collections/">veil</a> for the day ceremony and the <a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/collections/">Daisy flower comb</a> for her evening do. She also wanted a bespoke<a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/collections/#Garters"> garter</a> to match her vintage lace with a tiny hint of sparkle theme. Off I went to source her fabric. Holly's dress was a lovely ivory silk dupion so I sourced to match. 6 weeks later the result was a silk dupion and vintage lace flower headpiece with a birdcage veil with just a hint of sparkle.<br /><br />Doesn't she look stunning? A bit of a 40's starlet I think! I love the picture her with her mum, it is so natural! It is also the first time a bride has been brave enough to send me a picture of her actually wearing her garter. I have been dying for one so thank you!<br /><br />The pictures are just lovely Holly thanks so much for sending them and for your kind words about the pieces. I wish you all the luck in the world as a married lady!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN9Yjdr18x3hgdGNxyJiviesXshH8lWsj-v5kuNPnokSqtlgTHqmSAz_uIj0dlc8tomMRRPj_hHjLIWcpW5xsY9FpJ_FKZVEU9T57Jxa6GT1dnoICrF3NyP1QcEWHuCslvQy8m0ULREoo/s1600/341345_10150345309874660_500144659_7904768_846819272_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN9Yjdr18x3hgdGNxyJiviesXshH8lWsj-v5kuNPnokSqtlgTHqmSAz_uIj0dlc8tomMRRPj_hHjLIWcpW5xsY9FpJ_FKZVEU9T57Jxa6GT1dnoICrF3NyP1QcEWHuCslvQy8m0ULREoo/s400/341345_10150345309874660_500144659_7904768_846819272_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666235900966661154" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVFEjjXu-KzCg2NKxR3nYE4tcJ0njN7mjC7yzyHc495a2knhamoY8ENbi8Aweyd0-BrJkGMuj55BipciOYFZ0riIh3Xz3IoDxYioGxdPoMUtRZ-9vvZ1_aJanKySOK2xiZNrJFyXr304/s1600/291178_10150345304114660_500144659_7904737_507790431_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVFEjjXu-KzCg2NKxR3nYE4tcJ0njN7mjC7yzyHc495a2knhamoY8ENbi8Aweyd0-BrJkGMuj55BipciOYFZ0riIh3Xz3IoDxYioGxdPoMUtRZ-9vvZ1_aJanKySOK2xiZNrJFyXr304/s400/291178_10150345304114660_500144659_7904737_507790431_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666237562369214050" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdj70WPx_35ekWgkTGiiYtxNtcXD-_hz9mScxZU0Clgyt8pRzDOuwEBBYK1TKb8U2XO7-CYVSmTzz8-Gtz4mZCnlq817PUcVNRdObz021UMApVw2SNMg-g6N0wlqkqPrZSM81qIKQczZo/s1600/330356_10150345310744660_500144659_7904774_1430005606_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdj70WPx_35ekWgkTGiiYtxNtcXD-_hz9mScxZU0Clgyt8pRzDOuwEBBYK1TKb8U2XO7-CYVSmTzz8-Gtz4mZCnlq817PUcVNRdObz021UMApVw2SNMg-g6N0wlqkqPrZSM81qIKQczZo/s400/330356_10150345310744660_500144659_7904774_1430005606_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666235885153112466" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEsTIU89wQ-E5iAQDYjqZOb9OOvzKkkx73nme_sJE2ZjjOppsQNhDmh8Q6WeGzUQshfNdHSYk__3-o55VC5SRYYndOh-_5YFkonjvhu-GH3Eyyb_U3EGsX0-E_f5bp2bfEBEUF7v3VZvc/s1600/322749_10150345310534660_500144659_7904773_558456060_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEsTIU89wQ-E5iAQDYjqZOb9OOvzKkkx73nme_sJE2ZjjOppsQNhDmh8Q6WeGzUQshfNdHSYk__3-o55VC5SRYYndOh-_5YFkonjvhu-GH3Eyyb_U3EGsX0-E_f5bp2bfEBEUF7v3VZvc/s400/322749_10150345310534660_500144659_7904773_558456060_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666235873966769090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDUBVHsmoaD3kRiZzDx5ukv-x97cP03fATsHEFD78TO_3uF32-nHv3RpCv8OVS154capqS6z_mip7pglBnVSoA5sTdUj8-HGrD2r-oT_hrH_WWYFRwG5rx7q5shn9l78hi7HthHNPEgYQ/s1600/296639_10150320004009660_500144659_7772750_2092707810_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDUBVHsmoaD3kRiZzDx5ukv-x97cP03fATsHEFD78TO_3uF32-nHv3RpCv8OVS154capqS6z_mip7pglBnVSoA5sTdUj8-HGrD2r-oT_hrH_WWYFRwG5rx7q5shn9l78hi7HthHNPEgYQ/s400/296639_10150320004009660_500144659_7772750_2092707810_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666235868455352610" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVT3ClE7_eSzVlHv0hw4xGIaLKp9alpMR20Y2M61LVfL_MnKTxVbOGh0oCVVIbVyoq_F1ros435I5wI10OsaRJzILSf-Z9IiOAJ289gMi7HzvwcE-ItAv1nrtwuqRx3hNNG6xYiw3UuA/s1600/325716_10150345297804660_500144659_7904701_1003987265_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVT3ClE7_eSzVlHv0hw4xGIaLKp9alpMR20Y2M61LVfL_MnKTxVbOGh0oCVVIbVyoq_F1ros435I5wI10OsaRJzILSf-Z9IiOAJ289gMi7HzvwcE-ItAv1nrtwuqRx3hNNG6xYiw3UuA/s400/325716_10150345297804660_500144659_7904701_1003987265_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666235867280360914" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Holly's modern yet vintage inspired look fitted perfectly with my brand ethos.

I often get a look of panic from a bride when I ask has she thought about a garter yet. And still they remain the best selling item for me as lets face it ladies, tradition is important to us on our wedding day no matter how modern we may be.<br /><br />The origins of the garter are fairly bawdy. Traditionally the bride wore this and it was removed by her groom as a symbol of her lost virginity on the wedding day. It was tossed to the male members of the wedding party to bring them good luck. A bit like the tossing of the bouquet tradition. Anyone remember the horrid scenes at Brittany Spears wedding when Kevin Federline removed her garter with his teeth??!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHTUANRNbVjaqk69jwkRFv9SfszjP6KoYwBIFZ5GI9yTeZEWDVNzyUwCzVmxos6uUr80RZ3fmplJEnRIOxbcmarNmo8zeF9D4L8JzRihgQfsrLMSkKNhUOKm5OuC_ixfd3e5OPNeG0oBk/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-17.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHTUANRNbVjaqk69jwkRFv9SfszjP6KoYwBIFZ5GI9yTeZEWDVNzyUwCzVmxos6uUr80RZ3fmplJEnRIOxbcmarNmo8zeF9D4L8JzRihgQfsrLMSkKNhUOKm5OuC_ixfd3e5OPNeG0oBk/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649714932846873138" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I like to think that my brides prefer to keep it a little classier- like Hatty pictured below in her gorgeous Claire Pettibone dress and alongside her bespoke garter I made to match.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdHsz-Bb4ePcDx3Lk4HICYXmT43F_LqN-nCls3guzmurNRdZuPuD6vDwQgYrjqu5uZ73n0bDO04EdnzkU1-OL3V_Zx5qzmdLVvdChE0_5z1ir19FI-57uLVfb44brnuLRyL4NE4AUPoFo/s1600/321_DSC_5682_Edited.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdHsz-Bb4ePcDx3Lk4HICYXmT43F_LqN-nCls3guzmurNRdZuPuD6vDwQgYrjqu5uZ73n0bDO04EdnzkU1-OL3V_Zx5qzmdLVvdChE0_5z1ir19FI-57uLVfb44brnuLRyL4NE4AUPoFo/s400/321_DSC_5682_Edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649710108792309122" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdLrmPHwlL3YLxHfbCjaIaNN0lRVIOHzrtIUXX7YRwJQukO8h62zkThYmW2TH5pOCcIfTOrqLNI2qd2A4CEo17Ya2YEfAOhsOhibDYJdP2vZeu4J-QNRhWuOaK09VAPmh87ECbygFEGA/s1600/070_NIK_7422_Edited.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdLrmPHwlL3YLxHfbCjaIaNN0lRVIOHzrtIUXX7YRwJQukO8h62zkThYmW2TH5pOCcIfTOrqLNI2qd2A4CEo17Ya2YEfAOhsOhibDYJdP2vZeu4J-QNRhWuOaK09VAPmh87ECbygFEGA/s400/070_NIK_7422_Edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652669716606088706" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So on Sunday 18th SeptemberI will be at the <a href="http://www.vintageweddingfair.co.uk/Harrogate.html">Vintage Wedding Fair in Harrogate </a>and I am offering all you lovely brides to be who visit me 15% off my handmade garters all day.

Whilst spending a bit of time tweeting at lunch, the wonderful <a href="http://www.dishandspoonfood.co.uk/">Dish Ran Away with the Spoon</a> were offering a box of their new recipe cakes for autumn to the 1st 8 people who tweeted back. I jumped on that, never one to pass up cake. So later that afternoon armed with 2 friends and 3 babies we descended on the shop for tea and cake. In between ensuring out little ones didn't completely wreck the gorgeous shop ( I must say the lady in charge was very very tolerant of it all!) We managed to sample a lovely Blackberry muffin and an Apple and custard muffin (my fave) I still have the 2 delightful looking slices above at home to sample. I think one is choc and mint and the other is a spicy honey buttercream cake. Hubby is off out, what is the bets when he returns there will be nothing left!! I can confirm the cupcakes were delicious!<br /><br />On a more serious note I do know the owner Anna Gill and in fact work with her so I feel bad that I won the cake! Anna does wonderful afternoon teas and I work with her on my <a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/vintage-style-parties/">private and hen parties</a> in the northwest. Along with Sharon from<a href="http://www.fortheloveofvintage.co.uk/#%21about-us-and-contact"> For the Love of Vintage</a>, who provides the full vintage crockery tea set, Anna can whip up an amazing spread to compliment your afternoon of vintage fascinator crafting avec moi. My pics above hardly do her cakes justice so here are a few more professional shots!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLMtCKsyXl636BHwPHJp5B74KI1zie5k1x7RXNRcWGLDHE-v2XRJyN6TH3GrjsBpEFDqJs8IM6fLFXk8zzVx6hpIKlCCbeh9Txv0L3uhiiQoXLvFwRq_3w5gX9YFHhjShYgk2VKqesIQ/s1600/1308409031StickyToffeePuddingCupcakes.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLMtCKsyXl636BHwPHJp5B74KI1zie5k1x7RXNRcWGLDHE-v2XRJyN6TH3GrjsBpEFDqJs8IM6fLFXk8zzVx6hpIKlCCbeh9Txv0L3uhiiQoXLvFwRq_3w5gX9YFHhjShYgk2VKqesIQ/s400/1308409031StickyToffeePuddingCupcakes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652292998253708082" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojtUbVoPRfl9MwLNn_hrYoWFaVI4bsui4HI7Z8co-VGCyXQMDicAecUvULMH44XmqlMngFDuKU6AzKVWWE8VRmH5O0BkS9AtoEj4JeoiG7i3bhx2CTHTia6MFmfLOxxhcQb_u9sMvckw/s1600/1308410650WeddingCupcakeTower.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojtUbVoPRfl9MwLNn_hrYoWFaVI4bsui4HI7Z8co-VGCyXQMDicAecUvULMH44XmqlMngFDuKU6AzKVWWE8VRmH5O0BkS9AtoEj4JeoiG7i3bhx2CTHTia6MFmfLOxxhcQb_u9sMvckw/s400/1308410650WeddingCupcakeTower.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652293006822571234" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirimTEkFundbGxxqzN-mQlxvIsaH38hTkdIuoz0z4KPuesa08RfRNcUu_J3OgNrrl1u3-1m15udpCJFCyX5NZGegBDGXHteUYs6MWGSkmXedxY2h0A8cJpZsrVngWTS15TUZ2gywq_6WI/s1600/1308411526AfternoonTeaDidsbury.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 220px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirimTEkFundbGxxqzN-mQlxvIsaH38hTkdIuoz0z4KPuesa08RfRNcUu_J3OgNrrl1u3-1m15udpCJFCyX5NZGegBDGXHteUYs6MWGSkmXedxY2h0A8cJpZsrVngWTS15TUZ2gywq_6WI/s400/1308411526AfternoonTeaDidsbury.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652293000812636994" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5gTJKrkYAOUF68pG-XHqt38bggetVgpVBsYMLj4mWrlavuFDYcqhLR9MoIyNK8XJ49T5ElF4ZZphbSvWfv3ZxKuAgobZnrOkKAYKY2qD4wAkZNSp6Oy4H611WlTuXbKfSS0eoISkbJU/s1600/1308412935MiniCupcakes.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5gTJKrkYAOUF68pG-XHqt38bggetVgpVBsYMLj4mWrlavuFDYcqhLR9MoIyNK8XJ49T5ElF4ZZphbSvWfv3ZxKuAgobZnrOkKAYKY2qD4wAkZNSp6Oy4H611WlTuXbKfSS0eoISkbJU/s400/1308412935MiniCupcakes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652292996079504354" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We are already getting 2012 bookings so get in there quick you brides to be.

Used to embellish and update plain shoes. No need for a new pair for this year's Xmas party girls- just update with shoe clips! Take a peek at some of my bridal shoe clips below for inspiration of what you could make at the workshop. You are very welcome to bring your own earings to use if that is what you would prefer.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcTFKFa3pcoVxAO2VDC2OkYaAcw4JXZzRHXFS7pj7NrJekrdyhvsIRj5mFtzLgSah-YELLxrcOWg7pCctGT2GrxHJvJKylJia73i7hloepTQli2ZYB_I_FV6WgavNvfZcE7PUls_hKZI/s1600/Vintage+style+shoe+clips.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcTFKFa3pcoVxAO2VDC2OkYaAcw4JXZzRHXFS7pj7NrJekrdyhvsIRj5mFtzLgSah-YELLxrcOWg7pCctGT2GrxHJvJKylJia73i7hloepTQli2ZYB_I_FV6WgavNvfZcE7PUls_hKZI/s400/Vintage+style+shoe+clips.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649600303308443762" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy2OO39MlBqENYxMZx3ffZkT6cLO9ZEQ8q_GQDmKCLuHLJe_bpbwjXecQZBgObZGQ8MfqUNXtaN70T6HAjbVu3VMfSVDqKTLNrRe6KpU6tZ8C5TdmzUd-EmcOvlp38Cs4CTxdKToK0-J0/s1600/IMG_1057T.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy2OO39MlBqENYxMZx3ffZkT6cLO9ZEQ8q_GQDmKCLuHLJe_bpbwjXecQZBgObZGQ8MfqUNXtaN70T6HAjbVu3VMfSVDqKTLNrRe6KpU6tZ8C5TdmzUd-EmcOvlp38Cs4CTxdKToK0-J0/s400/IMG_1057T.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649601966470908738" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-55tBtrKlUUzxnu4u_VqCCjvlh2CbOmEEYxcwaKivyfmG5f1g1mgRZ1VCugo7wly4bds2zfP4y7DpslFnq_2uJe6Sxye16KkVaAn9CJldNthBI42WUlSxNUCC0D-G1Zqdn8BmCYz7vmo/s1600/Lucy+May+shoe+clips.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-55tBtrKlUUzxnu4u_VqCCjvlh2CbOmEEYxcwaKivyfmG5f1g1mgRZ1VCugo7wly4bds2zfP4y7DpslFnq_2uJe6Sxye16KkVaAn9CJldNthBI42WUlSxNUCC0D-G1Zqdn8BmCYz7vmo/s400/Lucy+May+shoe+clips.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649600302020856914" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7pm Tuesday 29th November- Fabulous Full On Vintage Headpieces</span><br />A 2 hour 30 min class just in time for the Xmas party season.

<br />
<br />Wednesday night was a real treat for me...a rare night out at the hotly anticipated <a href="http://www.lovemydress.net/">Love My Dress Soiree</a>. Iwas so excited to not be at home in my joggers chasing after an increasingly curious 1 year old or working ( again in my joggers!) on my sewing machine/going squared eyed on the computer. Working for yourself doesn't offer too much time out! That said I was nervous to be going to this event quite blindly, knowing only a handful of industry peeps that were going.
<br />
<br />This really didn't matter in fact it was the whole point of the event, to get to know others and have fun in the process. The wonderful world of twitter meant I was offered a car share with the lovely Michelle from <a href="http://www.pocketfulofdreams.co.uk/">Pocketful of Dreams</a>. I met Michelle a while ago when I was doing my very first wedding fair and was thrilled when she asked if she could blog about my little old <a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/">brand</a>. You can read one of her lovely posts <a href="http://www.pocketfulofdreams.co.uk/2011/06/30/a-crafty-creative-and-vintage-themed-hen-party-idea/">here</a>. She is a local northern girl but it would appear that neither me, her nor her friend have any idea about how to drive in the northwest area given we turned south onto the motorway and ended up nearly at Alton Towers- the party was in Newcastle in case you were wondering. The next 3 hours were a little white knuckle and reminiscent at points of a scary taxi ride I once took when travelling in India as Michelle hogged the fast lane in an attempt to get us there in time. I can see why, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do when a hairdressing appointment is involved!
<br />
<br />Slightly shell shocked I dropped some headpieces off with Abbie from <a href="http://www.vintagehenhouse.co.uk/">The Vintage Hen House</a>. Abbie runs a fab vintage hen party directory website and had organised a vintage inspired shoot at a local retro venue just before the Soiree kicked off. I can't wait to see the pictures.
<br />
<br />Turning up at Malmaison I met my roomates for the night <a href="http://www.katylunsford.com/">Katy Lunsford</a> a friend and one of the fabulous official photographers for the Soiree.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <a href="http://blog.cathepplephotography.com/">Cat Hepple</a></span> also a photgrapher and widely acknowledged as having the best outfit of the night and Hayley from the <a href="http://www.theharrogateweddinglounge.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Harrogate Wedding Lounge</span></a> with the best false eyelashes I have ever seen.
<br />
<br />The best move of the night for me was spontaneously deciding to get my make professionally done especially given how hot and sticky the weather was. A big thanks to <a href="http://www.labmakeupartist.co.uk/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Leeanne Bennett</span></a> for doing my make up you did exactly what I wanted and took a big weight off my mind!
<br />
<br />I had decided on a 40s/50s look and found a sequinned and pleated dress in a fab vintage shop down in Kent. I of course made a matching 40s style embellished headpiece in a dusty pink. My fave bit of my outfit were my back seamed love motif tights from asos.com as were my shoes. A good excuse to buy a new pair!

<br />Tottering in very high heels over the amazing Millenium bridge ( I have to add I thought Newcastle seemed like an awesome city as I have never been before) we arrived at the <a href="http://http//www.balticmill.com/">Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts</a> and were given name tags and a glass of champers as the Soiree was kicking off. I loved how the more we drank, the more we approached each other with a good old point at our twitter name tags first. Putting faces to names was definitely the goal of the night. I just wished I had talked to more. There was so much to take in, burlesque dancers, great music, yummy cakes, the snaparazzi photo booth, beautiful vintage props adorning every corner of the room and loads and loads of amazing dresses. It is good to see us wedding peeps are such a glamourous lot! I am pleased to say I made it to the end of the night still in heels but caved in and the ballet flats went on for the walk back over the bridge at the end of the night. My journey back was with Katy Lunsford and a double bass- some things are never straight forward!
<br />
<br />Thank you Annabel for organising such a brilliant and decadent party. Sure, it was a networking event but it really did feel like a party. I was having so much fun I hardly took any pictures- gutted. And I left my goodie bag behind. Double gutted.
<br />
<br />There have been some great reports of the night you can read Annabel's own here. WE are awaiting the full report on friday apparently!through here. Hopefully they will offer a lilttle light-hearted relief from the horrible events that have been on the news of late

I will be aiming to run one a month locally at various venues. I am open to suggestions. Currently mid week evening classes seem to be the way to go but let me know if you want a weekend or daytime class.<br /><br />I must say I really do have fun at these classes myself- I feel a little bad calling it work! What I am noticing too is that there are an awful lot of talented people out there. You ladies turn up claiming to not know how to thread a needle and leave with the most amazing creations!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5l-iGTReOyZOEl-EogUum4DdUQqcky06xVKPA642rysYQdEfxvFz8IOmi3Nx4k9k329kNVKeVkfNtbEVm5ZqhzZx-OeVk3LdEgG4UGZzIbQzVwQieXSizATu3bqe5XN2yeX8kdeOu3UA/s1600/DSC03406.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

This is why I choose the lovely nostagic venues that I do and set the materials up in vintage glass and china pots for your to rummage in. It is all about the finer details! A large part of the charm of the class is about scouring the inspiration boards, searching through the jars and pots of old buttons and laces and trying on lots of different styles to see what suits you before you start making.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqfhv-O_wtUvA4JdKTfjR9sUi5x-Vm-9pQkHNRwAbtY0xzuKndFBW9Au2zNMP8dPMi2ku_VLgq1RYxziKrxRrzeSgHBD44TPDPv4afP0BWNeiHJ1Ji-GoFmbFoWK3a0ZCr1WU1dDVo9vs/s1600/15.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Oooops! Too busy enjoying myself making lovely new things for things like this blog post shows. A few weeks ago I was delighted to meet with Chloe from a gorgeous new bridal boutique that opening in Sheffield.<a href="http://www.whiteroombridal.co.uk/#welcome"> The White Room</a> opened its doors on 16th July after what sounds like years of dreaming followed by planning and a lot of very hard work by Chloe and husband Kieren. As stockists of some of the best dress designers out there including Jenny Packham and Claire Pettibone, they are also looking to support local and independent designers. It was a pleasure to show Chloe my work and even more of a pleasure when she said she wanted to stock some headpieces and garters!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHtxbpcbQExQhCjRelPWZLRKiJvdUAIMeMnjDL6V5VPT5NpZ0m8wOQFxGDXxtV6l6Myd_awA1YTP3_CblhEYuHu_jouV1VhIt7GxLpX5h9g2j2sDjUcyBl-jQHUVZNhGYmagEiB-xtCKE/s1600/IMG_6258.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHtxbpcbQExQhCjRelPWZLRKiJvdUAIMeMnjDL6V5VPT5NpZ0m8wOQFxGDXxtV6l6Myd_awA1YTP3_CblhEYuHu_jouV1VhIt7GxLpX5h9g2j2sDjUcyBl-jQHUVZNhGYmagEiB-xtCKE/s400/IMG_6258.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631898901521787058" border="0" /></a><br />I am very excited to have some of my best selling styles in their stunning shop and wish them lots of luck for the future of their business.

It is a gorgeous representation of Alex and Lisa's day and how we all pulled together to pull it off! Feel free to have a look at it here on the West Didsbury Wedding Event website ( next event October 15th this year!) The film starts automatically.<br /><a href="http://weddingevent.westfest.org.uk/"><br />http://weddingevent.westfest.org.uk/</a><br /><br />The film has been cleverly put together by <a href="http://www.pearlsandlacefilms.co.uk/pearlsandlacefilms/welcome.html">Pearls and Lace films</a> who specialise in vintage wedding videography and it is just gorgeous. You can get a closer look at the lovely Felicity feather headress which Lisa wore for the evening reception too.<br /><br />Part 2 of the secret wedding- The day itself, is coming soon. In the meantime here is Part One just in case you missed it!<br /><br /><a href="http://silversixpenceinhershoe-nicola.blogspot.com/2011/06/shhhhhhhh-dont-tell-bride-part-one.html">http://silversixpenceinhershoe-nicola.blogspot.com/2011/06/shhhhhhhh-dont-tell-bride-part-one.html</a><br /><br />Photo at the top by <a href="http://blog.jonnydraper.co.uk/2011/05/28/carrie-and-robs-oddfellows-wedding-sneak-peek/">Jonny Draper</a>Nicolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12985321309708655563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353979387986590708.post-48834427299768532122011-06-17T10:30:00.000-07:002011-06-18T03:38:31.767-07:0050's gorgeousness and glamour in the gritty Northern Quarter- better late than never!This has been a long time on my to do list but I have been a busy lady. I am delighted to be sharing the images of a fabulous shoot I did a couple of months ago by <a href="http://blog.katylunsford.com/">Katy Lunsford. </a>I was asked to be involved via the lovely<a href="http://www.lauracolemanflowers.co.uk/"> Laura Coleman</a> a florist I know well. A shoot was being organised at the<a href="http://sweettoothcupcakery.co.uk/"> Sweet Tooth Cupcakery</a> in the northern quarter- a part of Manchester which I love for it's edginess. Little did I know I would also be introduced to so many great people including Katy, a wonderful photographer, <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/cmurray_makeup">Charlie Murray</a> make up artist, and <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/ailsa_mclaggan">Aisla Mclaggan</a> stylist extraordinaire! It was also the first time I had worked with <a href="http://www.charlottebalbier.com/">Charlotte Balbier</a> and her stunning dresses.<br /><br />The day started out with us mostly trying to control my little boy and Katy's little girl from wrecking the shop ( curse of the working mum!) I need to thanks Ailsa and Charlie for their excellent babysitting skills! They should do it as a side line as their ability to multi task was remarkable.<br /><br />Ailsa dressed the shop up a treat with vintage style blooms from Laura in all kinds of lovely mismatched crockery and glassware- which I believe she hires out too. There were awesome brightly coloured cupcakes displayed on vintage cake stands in colours specially done to match with the 50s theme of the day.<br /><br />We started with an beautiful soft Audrey Hepburn at a vintage tea party look. I had provided my Pearl lace garter and Lydia Shoe clips for this look and I am delighted with these shots Katy has done they show off the product so well! Laura had done a lovely bright bouquet of purple and pink Anemones ( I think so but I am no florist!) and so I added a lovely dusty pink mini bouquet charm to match. The dress speaks for itself I think, I am loving the little bolero.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSaEvprXY6FA_fXB611LXQzyvOaAPkJjJ_qWBazNWNErRUOHdz7xUvaEV-rK6ly82AtYLzAgHj3nOMf1YCfP6nNW4MSK73ZejMAmq_yqvERWOX96TbuPhd15mHF3qdJBeP8Vw9qdTKMtU/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-47.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I had arranged with my hubby to bring along his vintage red vespa -his pride and joy so I was super nervous. We caused quite a stir in the street with this part of the shoot.<br /><br />Kim rocked the sassy fifties look and once again I am totally delighted with Katie's product shots- I had made the accessories below, a set called the Ruby spot shoe clips, heart bouquet charms and ring pillow especially for the shoots 50's theme. I love the shot of the cupcake on the Ruby ring pillow!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBgfKPaHHtXfqN1tHQtHKCoW41wlmp93dCq4cAyh0HGepqNotq91B3vicj6x_F8-cm1VvIkcWwx-e-DIOPduVKOPfpAu9YDaEEan1bAU9Zf13DQ4ipUF8sib84kt2U5xUsnXXmwHn977o/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-65.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBgfKPaHHtXfqN1tHQtHKCoW41wlmp93dCq4cAyh0HGepqNotq91B3vicj6x_F8-cm1VvIkcWwx-e-DIOPduVKOPfpAu9YDaEEan1bAU9Zf13DQ4ipUF8sib84kt2U5xUsnXXmwHn977o/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-65.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609856018728512770" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsNtFfPpV_LoTjrtzSy9z11-wVpJyZAm2Skoy3IMAz6PQeItRJEJubHmh_cNNQ9cfDcTo8vgSfGUxZdhywQjcNacD3xALcmxmWpfnQa_snO2MskyInStiHDQeewP4UDwtIJnPqJp29n4/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-60.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsNtFfPpV_LoTjrtzSy9z11-wVpJyZAm2Skoy3IMAz6PQeItRJEJubHmh_cNNQ9cfDcTo8vgSfGUxZdhywQjcNacD3xALcmxmWpfnQa_snO2MskyInStiHDQeewP4UDwtIJnPqJp29n4/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-60.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609853923245094338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRCqYZpE7g2lhTjPmn2g8em8CseiTzYGfrHV0O9xTtfv0G9NK9St6mUrmi30M-P2tVVBNnHEiZbBjgLAF8LuHrQKOAdf0SN972JL-E3BNr83uQCBqPONiM_ssnXgFt5HtPibtoDnU_gk/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-82.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRCqYZpE7g2lhTjPmn2g8em8CseiTzYGfrHV0O9xTtfv0G9NK9St6mUrmi30M-P2tVVBNnHEiZbBjgLAF8LuHrQKOAdf0SN972JL-E3BNr83uQCBqPONiM_ssnXgFt5HtPibtoDnU_gk/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-82.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609856024045945458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipG4R4SlmkAcy2HKE6KRXQrTY3iAWtnTOVahezJPl3VqBoKkumijw0Ex0ogi7KC141sxVvrcCRSku23P87tFZWqQITv8Gp2WXJxt-6HS2yLfoNdyKIGv7hhKGw3FvCuvxtffnM0zLS5no/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-79.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipG4R4SlmkAcy2HKE6KRXQrTY3iAWtnTOVahezJPl3VqBoKkumijw0Ex0ogi7KC141sxVvrcCRSku23P87tFZWqQITv8Gp2WXJxt-6HS2yLfoNdyKIGv7hhKGw3FvCuvxtffnM0zLS5no/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-79.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609856018700343042" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEt08sLVfADHh-dYjRvNgQf3XSTuKPzHFSVcDdok0Mrt6l8D-dotg20BTr0NSIGkBPH8H-b0OsQXPYSzJqKHRGH-43u6uXTi8WohVx0m-WouBn3fQCOMh8694EuNhQToqa1niHl_wUAN8/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-66.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEt08sLVfADHh-dYjRvNgQf3XSTuKPzHFSVcDdok0Mrt6l8D-dotg20BTr0NSIGkBPH8H-b0OsQXPYSzJqKHRGH-43u6uXTi8WohVx0m-WouBn3fQCOMh8694EuNhQToqa1niHl_wUAN8/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-66.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613631212163644898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaLrzuD0HM8I8wM_9A7ffhkYk7Dnz4dmkKaLmBJFPdSoKNCzG_3dyWvBtzEWbdf-uk6MLweQu8wWhmGHxL0BbmxgCImeKeaVJUYf7zpPxZ2oI84lmpQ1R3RZgAmV_2qr1nooZr2lP9YuA/s1600/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-120.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaLrzuD0HM8I8wM_9A7ffhkYk7Dnz4dmkKaLmBJFPdSoKNCzG_3dyWvBtzEWbdf-uk6MLweQu8wWhmGHxL0BbmxgCImeKeaVJUYf7zpPxZ2oI84lmpQ1R3RZgAmV_2qr1nooZr2lP9YuA/s400/Katy+Lunsford+1950s+Shoot-120.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609856034226117762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />How sassy is Kim and I think EVERYONE should have a floral decorated parasol when they get married.

I first met Anna at the <a href="http://weddingevent.westfest.org.uk/">West Didsbury Wedding Event</a> back in March this year.

The 2 part course will allow you ladies to create something really fab, without rushing, in a nice relaxed environment. The lovely Anna will be on hand to serve up tea and treats. Perfect for all you Didsbury yummy mummies, the course runs from 9.30-11.30am on both days.<br /><br />Price is £40 for the course and it includes all materials, tuition, your finished piece plus tea and cake.

Yes that's right, you will have all seen the press but it is true, she had no idea a secret wedding had been planned by Alex with the help of a lot of fantastic local independent businesses. I met <a href="http://2people1life.com/blog/">Alex</a> ( read the about page on their blog it is so sweet!) a few weeks ago through <a href="http://www.didsburylife.com/index.html">Didsbury Lif</a><a href="http://www.didsburylife.com/index.html">e</a>. They had pulled a lot of local businesses together in March of this year for the soon to be repeated <a href="http://weddingevent.westfest.org.uk/">West Didsbury Wedding event.</a> I was surprised to hear Alex was planning a wedding to his girlfriend prior to even proposing, inspired somewhat by our wedding event. A 2 year trip around the world would follow where they would get married in every country they visited- a confident man to say the least! Fast forward 3 weeks and Lisa had been shuffled between myself and West Disbury's <a href="http://www.thewhitecloset.co.uk/">The White Closet</a> to ensure she would look gorgeous for the hush hush big day. How Alex pulled this off I have no idea and the same can be said for how we all kept straight faces throughout these "meetings." Especially when the official photographer for the day <a href="http://blog.jonnydraper.co.uk/">Jonny Draper </a>just so happened to be at Lisa's dress fitting. A dress which she thought was for her 1st overseas wedding.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpY09rLoqPpin7-xFmAVNXxDhGtD3B43vqahndLCM7BazYuH0vz5PIEJeKJbWZT7nHpRgbF2H9aZoDrmkz6u-jRPCPSvAsyuQyIUm9mAx2QHwoysT_NO3RuIl4KHA3w8HV0TEWNNFcgFY/s1600/dress+fitting.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpY09rLoqPpin7-xFmAVNXxDhGtD3B43vqahndLCM7BazYuH0vz5PIEJeKJbWZT7nHpRgbF2H9aZoDrmkz6u-jRPCPSvAsyuQyIUm9mAx2QHwoysT_NO3RuIl4KHA3w8HV0TEWNNFcgFY/s400/dress+fitting.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618548447873716034" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My meeting with Lisa was at <a href="http://www.the-metropolitan.co.uk/">The Metropolitan</a>, where she was to get married 2 weeks later, unbeknown to her. It was a good old fun trying on session.

Mucho vino consumed but it didn't seem to ruin the girls' sewing ability, which I have to add, they were a bit overly modest about! I was impressed at how good they all were.<br /><br />We started out by getting really inspired with all my current headpieces, mood boards and dishes of gorgeous twinkly haberdashery type stuff. The girls all decided on the look they wanted to go for after lots of trying on, and a bit of a demo from me, then set to work threading up those needles.

As you can see below it is a haven of kitsch, vintage gorgeousness! With lots of scrummy cakes thrown in! The shop has a fab classroom upstairs and this is where I am hosting Didsbury's first vintage themed fascinator and hair accessory workshop. It will be a fun packed, inspiring 2.5 hours of creative crafting with fabric, ribbons, buttons and jewellery. Oh and did I mention there will be tea and cake or bubbly? Plus you get to go home with something totally unique made by your own fair hands, helped a little by me, so don't be scared!

Like myself she has started her business through getting married - she makes gorgeous stationery so check out <a href="www.whimsicalwishes.blogspot.com">www.whimsicalwishes.blogspot.com<br /></a><br />It was good to meet the Rachel of Rachel Simpson shoes <a href="www.rachelsimpsonshoes.co.uk">www.rachelsimpsonshoes.co.uk</a> and we had a good old natter about our bygone days working at hectic retail head offices and how we don't miss it one bit!<br /><br />And below is Cheryl of Vintage Glamour days- another ex retail lady! Having given up visual <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">merchandising</span> she has turned her very <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">talented</span> hand to running vintage style afternoon tea parties and crockery hire.
