How quickly this has come around! I can barely believe that we have only one more summer exhibition to host and the schedule will be over.
Yesterday we opened another collection (see here) with our attending artist, Flynn O'Reilly. This was Flynn's first show with us, but he wasn't in the least overcome by the occasion and chatted to clients about his work which was the result of his winter residency on the island. Flynn lives and has a studio in Cornwall and has been holidaying on the Isles of Scilly since he was a young child - consequently he knows his subject inside out. Congratulations to him for making his first two sales with us by the end of the evening!
My outfit for the evening was not what I had planned. I have a really lovely vintage maxi dress in a sheer black fabric printed with orange flowers that I had hoped to wear, but after much faffing about with underskirts of various lengths combined with camis/bodies I gave up. I really need to line it and do in fact have black satin bought with that in mind. Time has been sadly lacking to get this done over the summer months, but hopefully before the October show I will manage to get my sewing machine out to tackle the job. Instead I wore - skirt: QED London, top: Tu at Sainsbury's, belt: eBay, shoes:H&M, necklace: Dorothy Perkins, rings: pre-loved.
My thanks as always to the dream team of the evening - Heather, Polly and Max who were all in fine fettle as you can see!
On Friday I'll be featuring my Black Trouser Challenge and on Sunday it'll be time for Ping Pong Piece once again. Do please join me!

I love the soft colour palette in this outfit, Anna, and the silhouette is just fab on you. Where does the time go??
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sheila. It was a last minute thrown together kinda thing, but I was happy with it too. I'm looking forward to the quieter months so that I can gather my wits about me again!

Thanks Suzanne. I've had the dress for well over a year now and am pretty keen to showcase it too. Fingers crossed, I'll get the sewing done in time for the October show.

Oh my but you have SUCH an eye for beautiful floral prints!! I love that this one gives a subtle nod to plaid and then splashes watercolor flowers everywhere. It's gorgeous and the pink blouse with pleated sleeves!! Goodness, it's like the cherry on top!!
