The Day the FAB MAG came

THE DAY THE FAB MAG CAME...

Here is a little tale (a very little tale) about... the day the very FAB MAG aka Fabulous Magazine (actual name, no silly voice necessary) YES the UK no 1 selling fashion supplement came to us at The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour as a set for their Mothers Day fashion photo shoot!

Rewind 3 months and it's a Wednesday evening, i'm sitting with Mo (my crazy, lovely, mad bat Nana) eating cheese straws, flicking through emails and generally putting the world to rights when my eye stumbled across an introductory email asking if The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour's, authentic, mid-century room set was available to hire - Ohhhhhhhhhh!

Our 1950s and 1960s room set is really popular with photographers but this was a TOP SECRET PROJECT

So the date was agreed, the price was set and the deal sealed. On the day of the shoot the FAB MAG van arrived - not too inconspicuous

 Mark, the cheery delivery man set to work unloading cases, boxes, props, equipment and clothes for the shoot. Where would all the equipment go?

Rails of clothes were set up ready for the styling team, this was a SS2015 collection shoot for Matalan and Peacocks - EXCITING

The four page spread was realised for the Mothers Day Special Fashion spread in March 2015. VOILA - we think the results were FAB (no pun intended).

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

Work in progress

                                                                    Crafty Close Up

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!"

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