Business Cards Delay

With the up and coming Victorian Teaparty I had decided a couple of weeks ago that I would be really professional and order proper businesscards. I spent a lot of time in photoshop until I had designs that I was really happy with and then ordered them in a nifty little format from Moo.com. All was going really well until I recieved an email yesterday saying that my cards wouldn't arrive until September 9th... And the teaparty is on August 29th... See my problem? *sigh* 

Obviously, the cards won't be here on time so I will have to think of something else... One option would be to print one-sided cards on normal paper and then cut them to the appropriate size but... I don't know... It just won't look as pretty! And, like all my friends should know by now, I am a perfectionist when it comes to things like this. 

Oh well, I'll think of some solution eventually. 

Until then I'll give you a little preview of the cards I ordered~

Hat Color Themes

I have recently purchased a lot of different materials for the new hats I intend to make. Flowers and ribbons, pearls and tulle, as well as a lot of fabric in different colors and with different textures. I am really looking forward to experimenting with them all. 

The new hats that I am going to make for the Victorian Teaparty are not done yet by any stretch of the imagination, however, here are some of the color combinations that I am currently thinking of:

Viola Lahger Teaparty

Wonderful news!

My hats will be displayed at the Grand Victorian Teaparty at the Viola Lahger Boutique in Stockholm! 

The Teaparty was arranged to promote Viola Lahger and their corsets but will also feature Jewelry from Eleonoras and hats from Imperial Fiddlesticks. It will be an intimate little get together for ten people only and there will be tea and cake for all the people present. 

Time: August 29th, 4-8pm.

Place: Viola Lahger, Stockholm

Dresscode: Victorian~ in other words: dresses and skirts and hats and corsets and gloves and corsages. Or possibly tophats and spats if that is what you fancy. No denim allowed. 

Because of the popularity of this event there will most likely be another Teaparty every month, or at least every other month, starting with the first one in August. Imperial Fiddlesticks will hopefully be present at each and every one of them. 

For more information about how to get tickets, please go to my dear friend Tea's blog:

Several new hats are being made right this moment especially for this Teaparty and I really hope people will like them. I will, of course, also be present to answer any questions that people might have.

Imperial Fiddlesticks

Welcome to Imperial Fiddlesticks Design. 

This blog will be dedicated to my Handmade Hats and other Victorian-inspired accessories. 

I have been making hats as a hobby for little over a year now and I have fallen completely in love with the craft. Hats used to be a wonderful accessory that women, and men, wore at all times but now they have become almost completely forgotten. So I have decided to share my love of hats with the rest of the world by starting to take commissions.

All my miniature hats are unique and made completely by hand. They come in many different sizes, colors and shapes, all depending on my customer's wishes. Sample pictures will come soon as well as more information regarding prices and shipping.

There is still quite a lot to be done before I can start taking orders, unfortunately, but at least the blog is up now and the layout is done. I am well on my way, so to speak.
