MBE news

Elaine Dowell visited Jane Wheldon’s Pickering showroom and chose this fabulous percher to wear when she received her MBE from Prince Charles for services to those with Encephalitis and their families. They had an amusing conversation as follows:

Charles – I hope no birds were harmed in the making of that hat.

Elaine – no, but our geese, ducks and hens are all wearing woolly jumpers now.

If you would like to visit Jane’s showroom please ring Tel: 01723 850402 to make an appointment.

Hats at Ascot!

Pictured are ladies at Ascot who hired or purchased hats from Sam, based just outside York and Margaret based near Reading. All the ladies received lots of compliments on their hats and they all looked fabulous!

The lady in the lime green dress chose her hat from Sam first and then purchased an outfit to go with it. They go together perfectly.

Penrith news

This was a more unusual picture, sent to Beverley Bargh, Penrith by one of her ladies, in that the bride is a cardboard cut out!

Don’t worry, the bride was there really, the cut out was used as a prop during her fathers speech. The picture also features two hats from Beverley’s showroom. Fabulous!
