and she made a bunny hat for ME!
Josie Armand Smith is a milliner and genius crafty person of great loveliness, living near Cheltenham. When I was visiting for the Literary Festival we met up for a cup of tea, me Josie and baby Bea (and Bea’s dad too).
I just could not believe my eyes – or luck – when Josie produced, from under the table, a bunny hat all of my very own!
It has many different bunnies rushing around the hatband, with a bunny build-up at the side…
and bunnies that meet at the back.
Each bunny has, I like to think, it’s own distinct personality, and it’s own name too.
Here we all are together (Bea has a bunny hat too).
And here are Josie’s latest tweeted felt creations that has us all utterly charmed…
I hugely recommend checking out Josie’s website and following @josiemakeshats on twitter to see what brilliant things she has up her sleeve next!
That’s awesome! Lucky, lucky you!
I AM! Isn’t she clever? Very sweet felty animals too, I want them ALL.
How very gorgeous!
Isn’t it just – I was bowled over!
That is Very Fine Indeed.
LOVED your tweet about the bunnies hopping off the hat and romping around my son’s graduation ceremony…!
Wow! Only just seen that, you lucky lady!
