Commission, New things and Teaparty!

I finished my Steampunk Tricorn Commission the other day and this is what it looks like now:

I brought it with me to the Teaparty at Viola Lahger yesterday and Varga was really happy with it. I think! I hope! Anyway, I really liked how it turned out. 

A little while ago I decided to expand the business a little. Hats and corsages are nice and all but they are generally very big/extravagant/expensive so I thought I'd make some hairclips that are both a lot cheaper And much easier to match to an existing outfit. More pictures of these little hairbows will come in time.

Other news... Ah yes! I have finally arranged a work space in my room so it is now a lot easier for me to get work done on my hats. A huge desk bought from a charity organisation, plenty of boxes to store materials in and I'm good to go! At some point I'll upload a pic so you can see what it looks like. I really like it!

Yesterday was the Masked Ball-themed teaparty at Viola Lahger and I was there, of course. It was really nice and I got a lot of positive feedback on my hats and things. I also sold the Vespertine Blossom mini hat so a lovely young lady. It looked as if the hat was made for her!

That's all for now, folks! I shall try to update this blog more often now that I have really gotten started with the hats again.
More info about yesterday's teaparty, and pictures, can be found on my personal blog: http://imperial-fiddlesticks.blogspot.com

The First Viola Lahger Teaparty~

Finally, after a very long wait, here are the pictures from the very first Teaparty in Viola Lahger in Stockholm. 

My business cards had finally arrived right in time for the teaparty so they got to take their place among the others on the counter.

 Imperial Fiddlesticks Hats displayed among some of the Viola Lahger Corsets~

All of the guests got to try on pretty much anything they wanted~

 

Even I found a corset that I couldn't resist trying on~ 

Some time during the day I sold my Cream Dream Hat to this lovely girl~

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.
