Another delightful day at Parap Market, catching up with lots of folk not seen for ages and generally enjoying the passing parade. If you are interested in owning any one of these hats, email me at gayzdesign@gmail.com Im sure you all agree that Danni'elle looks wonderful modeling my hats.
I only decided today that I will be attending the Darwin Cup. I'm sooooo looking forward to seeing all the fabulous headwear in real life!

Glamorous Gardening Hat

Marlene is both a garden lover and a hat lover. Swaning around in her 'Red lady' creates another bloom in her garden. Marlene is spreading joy to the world by wearing her hats as much as possible

A picture is worth a thousand words!

If being a blogger was my job I would have been sacked by now!. I actually don't have time to sit in front of the computer blogging, Im too busy making hats.Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words so Im going to upload some new photos in lieu of thousands of words!
I have been delighted at the response of the general passing parade of market goers who have given me such positive feedback. Most of all I have delighted in meeting the people who will wear my hats. Parap and Nightcliff markets have also proved to be a great place to catch up with folk that I havn't seen for years.

I'll have to update my initial profile sometime as I have a new baby granddaughter born in May.I KNOW she will be a hat lover too! Our little May baby is also named May.

May rugged up for the cold Pine Creek morning; about 11 degrees - cold enough for tropics!

Straw Cloche  'Miss Fisher Collection'commissoned by Conni - Conni is another hat lover and so far holds the record of owning  three original gayz design hats. I am very grateful to Conni's introduction to lots of hat loving ladies in Katherine.

Conni's "Sunny Lady' straw/silk trim

Two different views of Conni's fur felt cloche to keep her warm over the Alice Springs winters. Danni'elle modeling the feather trim. The cloche came with three interchangable trims - for a completly different look.

Danni'elle modeling 'Carolyn' commissioned by Carolyn for a winter wedding down south.

'Vintage Hollywood'  has created some interest and Ive had orders for a similar style in different colours
