5 out of 5 starsI am so delighted with this tiara hair band vintage fascinator. It is for my granddaughter's wedding in 4 weeks and I am having my hair cut this Saturday and taking my hair band so the salon can dress my hair for a prewedding trial. Huge thanks to Gemma, she is such a clever lady, very talented.

Surround yourself with beautiful things - and wear them whenever you can!
Ok I'll go first...I am a collector and a hoarder...it's a family trait and I started collecting from an early age, spending my pocket money at flea markets on little trinkets, pieces of vintage jewellery, beaded bags and purses and 1920's & 30's china. And jars of buttons, whispers of lace, bundles of ribbon, plumes of feathers, remnants of fabric....
Now I'm older and have the luxury of a studio in a converted mill building and a lot of these hoarded materials have been put to good use. I spread them out on the table and pick out the pieces that work well together, stitching, wiring, bending, folding and pinning them to transform them into wearable accessories for all to enjoy...I'm like a magpie surrounded by sparkly treasure, and I love it!
So, all the pieces I make are unique, and made with care and attention to detail. No two are ever the same, guaranteeing you will never bump into someone wearing the same thing as you.
