First wedding fair

Last week  I attended my very first ever wedding fair, it was held at the lovely old country house hotel Embleton Hall at Longframlington. I would definitely consider it successful. It was lovely having a display of my fascinators and tiaras and encouraging people to try them on, a few people, who thought that they didn't suit fascinators, when they tried on a small lilac crin and feather headpiece i made they soon realise how nice it looked and how it just finished off the whole wedding outfit.  I had my beads, wire and tools with me and I made a hair vine while I was there, i  reckon the pearl hair vine and my newly finished button  posy proved to be the most popular items.
I have been very very busy recently designing some long button necklaces and bracelets using a mixture of vintage/reclaimed beads buttons and lace, even if I do say so myself I am quite pleased with the results, they look very summery.
As a celebration for our 3rd birthday and to keep Coccuveda new and fresh i have started to offer complimentary tea and coffee for customers which creates a lovely warming aroma as you come in the door. If that excitement isn't enough we are having a free prize draw throughout March.... the prize 2 tickets for ladies day at Newcastle races so please call in to be entered and have a free cup of coffee.
I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures of my new designs.
