Happy New Year

 

As the sun sets over the Indian Ocean on the final days of the year it is the perfect time to reflect on all the wonderful things I was offered during 2011.

And there is so much to be grateful for….

my family and friends

my health

the clean safe environment I live in

all the people who came into my life for a short time and for a long time

the opportunities presented to expand my business

to everyone who visited my site

May 2012 be the most wonderful year for all….

Thanks a million

Thank you to everyone who visited my Open Studio in the last two Saturdays.  It was simply pleasurable to sip tea, nibble biscuits, chat, laugh, try things on and share stories.

Oh and agree to be photographed too.  And what beautiful friends I have.  It was also a joy to make new friends.  It really is the best part of this adventure.

Sophie’s t-shirt matched her new headband perfectly.  She looked a picture in the grape linen beret.

Margaret…beautiful inside and out.  Wow!!!   Keep rocking.

A very enthusiastic response from a new friend …thanks

It’s beginning to look a lot like Xmas

 

Open Studio

By request I am opening my studio at 37 Halls Head Parade Mandurah on Saturday 10th and Saturday 17th December from 9.00 – 4.00pm. This is a great opportunity to pick up a  unique gift for family, friends or yourself. It is also an opportunity just to pop in and say hello and share a coffee or cool drink before Xmas. 

I have added lots of new things to my range including linen sun hats, linen and silk necklaces, linen skirts and silk obi belts.  The sculptured skirts look stunning and would be for perfect New Years Eve.

Hot off the sewing machine …Linen summer berets.

If you can’t make it but would like to purchase something you could visit my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/lulutissu  or email me and we can discuss what you would like to buy and how we can make that happen.

If I don’t see you a very merry Xmas and thankyou for all your support during the year.

Where was Lulu Tissu spotted this week?…..

  Le Vieux Logis in Tremolat  France.

Susan our lovely friend from Carlux in France was spotted looking fabulous in a Lulu Tissu scarf.

One could be forgiven for thinking some of those crunchy autumn leaves fell and wrapped themselves around her neck.

You can now find my shop at  http://www.etsy.com/shop/lulutissu

My Creative Space

 

Even after the long hard week preparing for the fashion parade I still couldn’t wait to experiment with some new beautiful fine silk I recently bought. This scarf is delicate and feminine and another variation of what is obviously a very floral theme. Xmas present anyone?

 

I'm finally on Etsy.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/lulutissu

Please spread the word via your networks. Now I have got the hang of it I will put more items in my shop soon.

 

Let me do your Xmas shopping.  If you want to purchase a gift for someone and need to post it to them.  I can do that for you. I can include a personal message from you and post it to them directly so there is no double postage cost for you.

I forgot to thank the other very important member of yesterday’s team….David

 

Fashion show

I was one tired girl when I woke on Sunday morning. After all the work, today would be the opportunity to showcase and sell my work at the Zonta Club’s fundraising event Passion for Fashion.

It is with unmeasurable gratitude for the support of my lovely friends who all looked stunning as they strutted their stuff on the catwalk and  Karina who helped with the organisation, dressing and make –up;  THANK YOU.
