CRAFTY GOODNESS & THE LITTLE VINTAGE BEAUTY PARLOUR

CRAFTY GOODNESS with The Crafternoon Tea Hostess

On a bright & cheery Saturday in May, smelling all fresh from our new baby blue paint job, The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour were super excited to open our doors of our new "private party" room to host an exclusive 3 hour "Make a Vintage Fascinator with Cream Tea" Workshop.

What's behind door no 3?

The wonderfully intimate and informal workshop begins with our wonderful Crafternoon Hostess, Sam, talking you through a variety of vintage inspired options that you can plan, create and make from head pieces from Great Gatsby Inspired Headbands to Audrey Hepburn Bows. Then it's off to delve into the treasure trove of vintage habadashery, embellishments, Nottingham Lace and equipment that you'll need to make your unique headpiece, under the expert guidance of Sam.


Lots of planning time

Everything is included

Once the ladies started planning and creating their masterpieces, we took a refreshment break for a well earned rest...Afterall all this crafting is thirsty work. In wheeled our hostess trolley piled high with homemade fruit & cheese scones, pink lemonade and delicious sweet treats.


The finished results were just as amazing as the fun we had in the afternoon itself. One of our lovely attendees said:

    "I can't even put this on a scale due to the fun I experienced! The materials and supplies that we were given to use were of high quality, The hostess herself was very confident and informative of both the eras and looks that could be created during the session. It was a perfect way to spend a Saturday among friendly people and a lovely cup of tea served by The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour!"
                                                                        Ellie

But don't take our word for it, look at the results from some of our happy crafters below, one word ...FABULOUS




Our next "Make a Vintage Fascinator & Cream Tea" workshop is Saturday 13th June 3pm - 6pm but spaces are limited and are selling our fast.
