I'm famouse!

Well in the borough of Lewisham any way!
Me and some friends run a knitting group in my local pub and were recently approached by our local council magazine for an interview and somehow I ended up on the cover! I'm no model and it was a really odd experience. The cover pic was taken in the street because the light wasn't right inside! The magazine is distributed for free round lewisham and if we'd only been in the mag and not on the cover no one would know as know as I'm not sure anyone actually reads it, but as it is all my friends have been texting me to say they got home and found me staring up at them from there door mat!

macaroons to celebrate

I have exiting news, I got onto the millinery course at Kensington and Chelsea collage yesterday so I have a busy year ahead of me but am very exited and to celebrate I treated myself to tea and some macaroons from Laduree. yum.

Tips on vintage hats.

Over on Queens of vintage this today there is a lovely article wearing vintage hats with tips from lots of lovely bloggers. Well worth taking a look.

This weeks hats

Thought I'd show you some of the hats that I'm eyeing up this week, click the *'s to go where I found them.

***
I love that the feathers are made out of the same felt as the hat, I'll have to give that a try some time.

***

I'm not sure where this is from but they are lovely illustrations .

I do love a matching hat and handbag combo.

hair combs.

I have made some hair combs as a cheaper alternative to my geisha hats and they are now up on etsy, please do go take a look.

walking along the southbank

I took a lovely walk along the Southbank last week and  would highly recommend it to anyone in London as there is a amazing exhibition on at the Hayward gallery  called Walking in my mind that has spilled over on to the Southbank in the form of red and white polka dot trees. 

The dots have provided space for lots of graffiti.

The exhibition uses all the spaces at the Hayward indoors and out. I love these big shapes.

Though not as much as this group of kids did! 

Outside the National theatre are these amazing giant sofas aren't they fun.  

I took some pictures with my Holga and Diana cameras too, I'll show you those once they are developed.
