Frost fair at Cody Dock

Thanks to all the lovely people visiting frost Fair @ Cody dock E16 today. It was great to meet great people doing great work and the mulled cider went down especially well (Thanks George!). Here are a few pics of the afternoon. A special thanks to those buying hats. I'm looking forward to hearing from those enquiring about commissions soon. Send me an email or give me a call.

Fantastic beasts, fantastic headwear!

Something for the weekend? Loving the look of the 1930's style cloche hats in the new Fantastic beasts and where to find them film. If you love the look, check out my website for inspiration. Felt cloches are my No.1 favourites. You could commission me to match a hat from the film or take you're own personal twist on 1930's New York! Contact me for details. Dawn x

Hello, I've delighted to have booked a hat stall at the Frost fair at Cody Dock on Sunday 11th December.

The redevelopment of Cody Dock is a fantastic community project. This involves the restoration of a former abandoned industrial dock on the river Lea and regenerating the surrounding 2.5 acre site. Aims include linking the tow paths along the river Lea, providing creative studio and works spaces and providing a venue for music and arts projects. It's a fantastic hidden gem set among the industry of east London's river side. With fantastic views across London and a lovely community spirit.

Important information: It also has a pub on a boat!

Getting there: Nearest DLR station is Star Lane. Postcode: E16 4TL
