Fascinating

A couple of weekends ago, I attended a hen party.  I really like quirky and unusual hen parties (and I'm struggling to decide what to do for my own even though it's about a year away still!) and this was definitely different.  The bride to be is quite crafty, she's making her own wedding dress and all the invites were handmade, so this was right up her street.  We spent the afternoon making fascinators at a studio in Clapham.  The very friendly and incredibly talented Janie Lawson talked us through the process and was on hand to offer inspiration and help throughout the day.  For something as small as a fascinator, there is a lot of hard work involved, and the most tiring part is really thinking about what to add to it, without going overboard and ending up with an overloaded head.
