Well if you want to come down on the Saturday afternoon and stay over Miss Lain, you are more than welcome too.  
I think the whole thing finishes around 5 o'clock, so would that be time for you to get a train back?

I had some of the hats delivered today -

The fetaher ones, the two pink ones (even more amazing and georgous than the pictures) and the black pill box and then the cream one.

I shall try and pictures taken of me wearing them over the weekend.

Would love to fancy meeting up for a vintage fair. Though someone would need to give me directions. I'm not familiar with london.

Talking of hats I've just won this on ebay

if anyone wants copies when I get it.

Ooh I'd love to see it if it looks like something somebody could start with. Or do people have other suggestions on a good starting point. I'm generally quite crafty but have no intention of specialising in hats, i'd just like to be able to make a few bits to go with costumes, etc
