This is a shot of Deb Kennison wearng a hat I made for her last year to go with the dress she made herself. Her choice was of a simple disc with a couple of big linen weave silk flowers. She won fashions on the field on the day, I just love it. Congratulations Deb
I suppose it's routine for bloggers and mothers and milliners to say "How time flies"... and yes I know we all get the same number of hours in a day. So I suppose I should stop marvelling at that inevitability and discuss some more interesting matters. We are making some new hats and I want to tell you about them.
Here are some of the squggly hats that I am enjoying this year, these 3 are red or contain red. I love the way red is so sharp and eye catching. Most people can wear red and look great.

Here is a shot of Lara Reynolds wearing a red ruffled disc at Flemington in 2012 . I have moLara chose this piece to go with a red dress & as you can see she teams it very successfully with this subtle grey to very good effect. I just love the chunky jewellery.
This was taken at the Berrigan Cup this year. I hope you agree they all look stylish and relaxed. Perfect wear for a country race meeting.
The spring launch this year was delayed this year due to some family matters and nearly didn't happen at all. I am really glad we went ahead and showed our collection to a gathering of some of our favourite clients and friends of the business. The evening was a great success and I was very happy to share some hospitality, some hats and the company of some very good friends.
Handmade in Melbourne is a great little guide to 200 of Melbourne's makers in a wide range of media. There are too many categories to list here, of course the one I like the best is Millinery & I am delighted to tell you that I am included. If you are interested in accessing items that are well designed, made by hand & produced in limited quantities or one off then I can recommend this book. I have copies for sale in the studio for the recommended price of $29.95. The Nicholas Building open studios 2009 will be Thursday 27th August and Friday 28th August.
