Wedding Fayre @ Cotgrave Golf Club

Wedding Fayres are a great way of meeting excited brides planning their special day... we are happy to discuss bespoke embroidered gifts to make their day extra special and personal.

This is the first time we have displayed our vintage lace garters, and Lucy Moore won our free prize draw, and will have a lace garter on it's way to her soon! 

The view from our table over the golf course was breath taking, and this would be the view your guests saw during your wedding reception at Cotgrave.

Cotgrave Place Golf Club hosted their first Wedding Fayre today and it was a huge success!

Vintage Lace Garters

I have been collecting vintage lace from various shops and market, where ever I see something beautiful!

I eventually had chance to play this week in the evenings and finalised my design and I'm sure you'll agree, the vintage lace makes the garters look fabulous!

Due to the nature of using vintage lace, each garter is a one off... and I think this makes it extra special to wear on your wedding day! Prices start at £18 - £25 for the wider lace garters.

I will add them to the website soon, but if there is anything you like, please contact me to purchase. I have added more photographs to my Flickr account.

I've won another award!

Thank you so much to http://allthosethingsandtheotherstoo.blogspot.com/ for giving me the award!

We are hoping to move house next week and then I will have chance to sit down and pass the award on to other blogs!

Thank you again.... xxxxx

Moving house soon... and having huge de-clutter before we pack!

In my de-cluttering frenzy... I have given away my Final Collection piece from when I was at Art College in Bournemouth studying Costume for Stage & Screen... this literal took months to make and cost all the money I had at the time! But its sat in a box in the attic for fifteen years.... so time to give it up! I contacted the local Theatre Group who loved it and now have it in their store... and hopefully it can be put to good use!!

I've won an award!!!

I have won a "Sunshine award" from http://www.notjusthandbags.co.uk/... thank you so much to Elissa who says,
"I was given an award by Marie at Minky Magic and had to pass it on to others and I chose the blogs that make me smile either because of the lovely work they produce or the words, and yours was both!
Elissa x"

I now have the task of chosing my favourite blogs and passing on the award!
Thank you so much Elissa!

New personalised wedding sampler....

This is a beautiful personalised wedding sampler the happy couple will save for years! It is embroidered on ivory silk with ivory thread, and personalised with the couples name,date and location of the wedding. It is housed in a deep white framed, and because of it's neutral colour scheme, it will fit in with any style of interior design theme.
It was very difficult to photograph, and with the dark daylight at the moment, this might be the best I can do for a while.

It will be on the website from tomorrow and is a great unusual gift for the wedding couple.
