Hi Ladies
After weeks of preparing stock for the launch of my online boutique, I have set about getting my shop up and running. All of the items on the blog will be available online at etsy, along with much more too! (except the lush red puffball dress, which my model just had to wear heading out on Sat night!.....well in fairness she did look amazing in it, lol )
I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave a comment with any queries that you might have!

Yes ladies,
I have been very busy preparing for the launch of my etsy online boutique where anybody can purchase styles like the ones you see posted on my blog!! I am expecting to get the show on the road by next week.
I had a fantastic weekend, at the fabulously talented Linda Mckay's millinery workshop weekend. The venue was mind blowing, like an article out of an interiors magazine, and the constant stream of refreshments kept everyone oohhhhhhhing and aahhing on a regular basis. The workshop itself was fascinating, and everyone created the most amazing pieces under the guidance of a creative genius, that is , Linda Mckay. It was such a great experience to be in her studio, rummaging through her boxes of vintage trinkets, antique laces, beads and hand dyed feathers! quite honestly guys, I was foaming at the mouth! And the best bit was, all these materials were simply there for the taking, Linda generously implies a system of , take what you need to make it happen!
Major props go out to Janice our host who spoiled us rotten for the weekend with fab homecooked dishes and desserts and juices and lattes and treats........did I mention a constant stream of refreshments!!
If you are living in Ireland or fancy a visit to this neck of the woods, it is a highly recommended form of relaxation and enjoyment. Go check Linda out at the link on the right hand side, listed under talented people, why of course!!!

I am waiting on the arrival of my new studio (also known as a wooden shed/cabin) and it feels like Christmas. To have a designated area to make a mess/masterpiece is going to be fab. I had a landscaping expert up today who is going to help to put some style into the garden surrounding it too!! A long way from when I started, (cutting out patterns on MDF on my bed years ago!!! )I will be sure to post the pics when it has arrived. Hopefully soon, as I am driving everybody around me crazy fluting on about it!! lol
Today was a great day creatively, I managed to finish 3 more pieces for the next photo shoot. This collection will be added to my online boutique at bonzie.etsy.com when I launch my new shop!
leave a comment ladies if you wish, as I love mail!x
