Hats and High Tea.











Today has been a perfect day - Easter Sunday - The Family all home , Easter Mass, Belle Fleur Chocolate, a glass of Whispering Brook Blanc de Blanc, and brunch with good friends.

It has been a busy and wonderful time at Embellish atelier .
High Tea has been a regular addition to the schedule.

The Golden Slipper Enchanted Hats and High Tea was a great success.It is such a pleasure to be involved in an event which is putiing Sydney Couture Milliners on the Sydney Map.



Dear Sydney Couture Milliners ,

I would like to thank each of you for your contribution to the Golden Slipper Enchanted Hats and High Tea. . Each and every hat modelled and displayed looked exceptional. I hope you agree the move for the milliners to exhibit in the foyer created a welcome and tempting atmosphere.

Thank you to NSW racehorse owners association who stage the event and President Ray McDowell for continuously striving to promote and raise the profile of this event .

Thank you to Sharon from Sharon Lenton Events for all her energy and hard work to put the event together, and for her and Rays continued networking with the AJC and the STC .

Samantha Storry and her team at Sir Stamford work very hard to make every aspect of the day perfect for us and thank them for everything yesterday.

I am sure you will agree that every model was simply beautiful and they looked gorgeous in their Anthea Crawford outfits- showing off each hat to its best advantage . Congratulations to all the winners . Especially Denise for her Hat matching and Anthea Crawford outfit and Neil whose display and parade was judged to be the best. Lisa Wellings looked amazing in her ensemble and won best dressed .

Jenni Seton from Redkite spoke poignantly in her address about the important work of Redkite and her passion for hats.

We are very grateful to our wonderful sponsors for the event and are proud to have raised close to $2500 for for Redkite.
Thank you also to Rebecca Willis , Tess, James , and John Kelly, and Ray McDowell who sold the raffle tickets, Mystery Envelopes , and Auction Prize.

Thankyou to our wonderful Jean Carroll O.A.M for her wonderful words encouraging everyone to wear a hat every day.
There are certainly many good reasons to wear a hat every day but most of all because it lifts your spirits.

Keep up your beautiful work and look forward to seeing you all again at the next event .

We will send a more formal letter but just wanted to pass on my thanks to each of you for your part . To any one I have forgotten please beg my pardon , let me know and I will amend my ways..

Hats off,

Hello Catherine, I want to say what a wonderful day I had yesterday. You really did a great job with the organizing of the milliners and the the lobby and the mannequins were beautiful. I thought the hotel had done that. Everything ran very well. That suite you had on was really beautiful it took you to another dimension really runway worthy. You and Carole Maher were the best dressed milliners in my opinion I have to lift my game for spring!!!! Kind regardsDenise


I stole a couple of days off to fly to Brisbane to see the Stephen Jones lecture and view the Anthology of Hats. High Tea at GOMA with Kit and Jean Carroll topped off a perfect day.

A further highlight last week was demonstrating hatmaking at Balmain Hospital

Cathy,

Yesterday was a wonderful day due to your generous provision of yourself and your skill as an artisan and raconteur! Many, many thanks.

Regards, Ann-Marie
