The Newport Arts Festival was held at the Yachting Center on America's Cup Boulevard with an auspicious start - a hurricane! The skies cleared for the show on Sunday and I am happy to say that sales were brisk and the people were delightful. Heard at the Savoir Faire booth were "I love this hat, it will go so well with my antique Jaguar" and "This is wonderful, I can wear this when we pick up our yacht in the South of France". I think I will begin to put lo-jacks on my hats so I can see the fabulous places they visit! |
Summer
is rolling along. It has been so rainy here in the East that we have not
had too much of a chance to enjoy our brief beautiful season. We did have
a beautiful 4th of July week-end, however. Look at this cutie from the
Marblehead Arts Festival
Show.
The woods are an unusual setting for Savoir Faire cocktail hats, but
here is a reunion of college roomates (North Texas State University Music
School). Of course, Annalee steals the show. That is as it 
should
be, isn't it"
I
am just back from an exciting trip to California where I had the pleasure
of attending the wedding of Jaime and Anne Pond Peterson. It took place
on the American River in Colonna, CA. What a lovely couple!
April 15, 2009. It has been a long, cold winter here in the Northeast, even in Newport! Usually our ocean breeze will keep things warmer. Edison and I were able to bundle up and get our winter walks on the beach or on the Clif Walk. We are now buckling down to the task of preparing for the spring and summer season. We have gone a little "green" with some of the trim on the new hats. Can you tell what the flowers are made of?
September 2008. I have finished my summer shows. They were a lot of work but they were also a lot of fun. It is terrific to see my old friends - both customers and artists. Here are some photos:Here are some photos from the events this spring and summer

pretty girl going to an opening of "Sex in the City" in a nice
cocktail hat. What fun. Paradise City Festival, May, 2008
I
am continuing to love my home in the beautiful city of Newport. I am preparing
for the spring and summer shows. These kicked off with a "trunk show"
on the waterfront in Newport. We celebrated the Kentucky Derby on May
3rd at OSKA, a store which sells beautiful European clothing. It was indeed
a frosty day. The mint juleps were a helpful warm-up!
