a holiday jewellery party!

Last Sunday was a hopin' and a boppin' as we let people into our studio space for our open house, Holiday Party. We had some amazing sales, tasty treats (by local baker, Crumb and Berry, click here to see their website), some new designs and tons of treasures to find!

 I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my new and returning customers. It was so lovely to meet every single one of you and I am thankful for you! Thank you for taking the time to shop small this Christmas. 

I hope you are having a wonderful first week of December! I'm off to do some Christmas shopping for my family. Have you done yours yet?

how to wear pants

What I wore:

Sweater: F21 

Hair scarf: thrifted

Vest: Vintage

Pants: F21

Jewellery: Hattitude jewellery

I am in love with these pants. It feels very strange wearing pants. I normally tend to stick to skirts and dresses...but these pants were too perfect to pass up. I love them. The floral pattern is right up my alley, and they're stretchy! (so I can wear long underwear underneath them) I think it's important if you're going to wear pants to either have them a. high waisted, or b. with a little bit of pattern on them or c. wear them with a vest. 

How do you wear your pants? 

I've been busy getting ready for my jewellery show this Sunday December 9th from 2-5pm. 

Check out some of the pieces online and drop by Sunday for some gift wrapped presents that are one of a kind.

Follow me on Facebook as I update my shop, and post tidbits about life. 

How have your lives been? I promise in the new year when Hattitude settles back down, I'll catch up on the blogosphere. 

Do you guys have any plans for Christmas? I really wish I was scooting down to Barbados. Tell me your plans! 

gifts for under the tree

This weekend is the jewellery show! 

I have 80 necklaces, tons of bracelets and a lot of earrings to view and purchase for Christmas (or treat yourself!)

Make it easy this year, get complimentary gift wrapped boxes to go straight under your tree for those you love!

I saw Lykke Li, she's gone a little too dark for me on stage, but to my greatest surprise First Aid Kit was her opener. Have you heard of First Aid Kit? They are a mix of country, folk, pop music. They're two beautiful swedish girls. They put on such a good performance and were just loving being up there. Maybe I was just loving seeing them? I think I'm a concert junkie? They're one of my favourite bands, and I was completely left in the dark that they were the openers for Lykke so what a grand surprise. I have to say I think it's one of the greatest feelings in the world when you walk in to a concert and one of your favourite bands is the opener! 

If your looking for something to do this weekend and want to support a local artist come to my Jewellery show (November 26th and 27th at my home) and get some gifts for under the tree, drink some cider and eat some cookies. Check out some of my collections online at www.GotHattitude.com They are all one of a kind, and TONS will be unveiled at the saturday and sunday show!

I've been in the studio working all weekend. Here's a quick little photo, sorry it was taken on my phone, of one of the latest pieces! GAH they are all so gorgeous I don't know how I am going to part with them!

I had a lovely little tea party with two of my good friends. Nothing says winter after a light snow dusting then a spot of tea. Has anyone ever been to high tea? It's one of my favourite things to do around Christmas! I love dressing up in the vintage hats and totes, dresses and fur coats. Plus what's better then crumpets and tea? 

I also just got the news one of my best friends is staying in nepal where she is working for the umbrella organization! She volunteers at an all girls home, helping out children and young teens. The stories she writes to us are astounding, including killing a goat for dinner! She has just had a whirlwind experience and got offered a paid position over there. She has found her niche. I will admit I did have a little tear in my eye when I read that she is staying over there for another year! But I'm really happy that she has found something she is so passionate about. 

Cheers Niamh. I love you wild child! So happy you found something you love doing and are so enamoured with and passionate about!
