Lead Up to Katherine Races 2013

With the Katherine Races only 3 weeks away, I held my first ever stall at the Katherine markets last Saturday. Fellow milliner, Jeanette Lambert and I had lots of fun meeting many of Katherine's hat lovers.We were very busy and I know that was due to the generosity of some key people in Katherine who put our flyer 'out there' through their network. I'll post some of the new season hats modelled by Pine Creek's gorgeous Danni'elle at the Lazy Lizard Tavern.

Melbourne Cup 2012

Claire Callighan dressed up in elegant style for her day out at the Melbourne Cup. Clair was holidaying in the US and emailed me a photo of her 1980's vintage frock. I made the hat; she flew into Darwin from the US for a couple of days, during which time she zapped down to Pine Creek for a hat fitting  then off to Melbourne for Ladies day and the Cup
