Mantillas for Mums, and Bonnets for Babies!

I've been making quite a few mantillas lately, and enjoy trying to fulfill the specific requests that people often make, like the brown cotton lace one that was recently asked for.

I love making bonnets too, but am sad that sometimes I don't get to see them being worn by their new owners.  If people buy anything from me, I love to have photos of them or whoever it has been bought for, modelling it.

This one was sent to Japan.

This was used for a Baptism at my Parish. Sadly, I didn't get a photo of baby in it, though!

This was made for baby Grace's Baptism -
I think the photo was taken on another occasion, though.

I love the delicate lace edging framing the face.

But I'm so glad I get to see this one being worn every Sunday!
Maria doesn't seem to mind keeping it on through Mass, either.

A nice easy to wear, elasticated bonnet with lace brim. £8.00 in polycotton, £15.00 in pure cotton, dependent on size.

                                                                             

Classic Tartan Elegance!

Okay Mamma, why have you plonked me here
in my Sunday best?

So I'm supposed to be looking this way am I?

Oh, I get it, it's a Zelie's Roses modelling session!
I'm happy to oblige. X

Traditional winter bonnets

I managed to capture a model to show off one of the winter bonnets (for more examples, please see the Bonnets For Sale page above.) Little Helena was fairly compliant for a wee while, but as her mamma and I did not dare to tie it on, in case it incurred her wrath, 

We managed to get this charming pose, before...

 the hand goes up and the 'I've had enough of modelling for one day' expression comes on her face!

Thank you Helena, it looks much better on you than off!
