Redcar Ladies Day - Saturday 24 June 2017
People turned up in their thousands for this years Ladies Day at Redcar and I had a really enjoyable day - only slightly spoilt by the wind. My hats were part of the succesful fashion show which also showcased dresses from Betty Leigh Boutique in Redcar.
I had photos taken of as many customers as possible and I am running a competition on my Facebook page this week where the customer with the most likes will win a FREE hat hire from me as well as a bottle of Moet Champagne x
Once again thank you for your continued support and to everyone over at Redcar Racecourse for making it a memorable day x

The Animal Ball
Clarence House
Tuesday 9th July 2013
The Animal Ball was held at Clarence House and hosted by The Prince Of Wales and The Duhess Of Cornwall.
My design was worn on the evening and im currently trying to see if I can get a photo of it from the Ball
The Animal Ball was a party with a purpose. All money raised will reconnect 2 vital forests in Assam, north east India. These forests are home to 1,700 endangered Asian elephants
The evening helped to raise the vital funds of £600,000, a significant sum that will create real change to this problem
Ive just received this email below from the organisers thanking me which made it worthwhile.
Elephant Family would like to send a heartfelt thank you for supporting The Animal Ball last week – what a menagerie it was! Your stunning masks created such wonderful energy throughout our project and acted as an integral tool in stirring the excitement and communicating the cause. Your vision and sparkle made for the most eye catching and elegant of designs and we consider ourselves very lucky to have worked with you for the first time.
Coverage of the event was seen all over the world and appeared several national newspapers, ITN News and Vogue to name a few. The articles can be viewed by clicking on the links below.
