Off to the Ekka to check out the Millinery ?

Updated: Aug 15, 2022

If you are off to the Ekka then don’t forget to take a look at the Millinery section in the Creative Art & Craft section. I’m really proud of my millinery that was entered in the Ekka competition categories and I want to tell you all about these two hats. Both of my hats have been made in the traditional way and all hand stitched, styled and trimmed with the craft that I have loved & learnt over the past 13years. Make sure you have a closer look and congratulations to all the other winners.
