This headpiece is the product of a request I had to create some head wear with some fair trade silk from Laos. It is some of the most fascinating material I have ever used with some really lovely potential. This design is an exaggeration of a classic lily flower using a crisp open weave silk and black thread with black stripped coque feathers in the centre. It is on a covered headband which can be seen as part of the flower. The piece is a one off and is available for purchase from me through this site, send me a message through the contact page to find out more. It would be a wonderful bridal headpiece, or a classy racing headpiece.

Once I got myself acquainted with Etsy I am now on Facebook too, the last time I was there it was a personal entry and I gave it up because I felt like I was wasting my time.... Now I am there with hats, much more fun. If you are a Facebook user I would welcome you as a Facebook friend. I will use it to give updates on what happens here at Serena Lindeman.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melbourne-Australia/Serena-Lindeman/209633820913

So now I have taken the plunge and added some stock to Etsy. If you haven't come across Etsy it is a site where you can search all sorts of handmade, vintage craft and craft materials. It's based in the U.S and has sellers from all around the world. Find my Etsy "shop" by following this link http://www.etsy.com/shop/Serenajane . 

I have just been checking on websites about all things handmade in Melbourne and I came across Handmaiden, they mention the wonderful Marche Rouge held on Level 2 in the Nicholas Building in late November. Here is a link to the site http://handmaiden.typepad.com well worth a visit. The next Marche Rouge is planned for Thursday 11th, Friday 12th & Saturday 13th February. To be reminded of the sale event contact me through the contact page & mention Marche Rouge & I will remind you of it at the beginning of February.
