Pop-Up Shop has only a week left...

Oh, it's been a busy month! We have hardly stopped - and hence we are *rather* behind in attending to our lovely twoshoes blog.

Firstly, our pop-up shop as part of The Finders Keepers and Gaffa Gallery's Arcade Project is about to close! It has been open for almost a month now and the whole lovely little cosy spot is to be packed up this Monday, so your time is running out to grab yourself something delightful! (and, on that, stay tuned for a very special announcement tomorrow morning...!)
To book a free consultation and fitting with our designer, email appointments@ginnyandjude.com

We have had a couple of little articles written about the shop including a feature in twothousand and an interview in dailygloss which we were super-duper chuffed about!

Did you make it to the opening of the Arcade Project? Our designer Rabia Lockwood had a fabulous time meeting everyone and helping people try on hats!

Our very favourite photographer Lyndal Irons (she of Harlequin Photoshoot fame) was on hand to document the event with these lovely photographs below...

 The crowd mills around the arcades...and there our little shop is in the top right corner!

The wine was so fancy it had a cork in it...delicious!

Helping a lovely lass try on a 'Row Boat Sweethearts' hat - one of the new pieces from the Razzle Dazzle Rose collection!

Our designer Rabia helping solve a jewellery dilemma - yes, those earrings will make everything better! (and she's wearing a Sanoii & Six blouse...)

...and on the wooden plinth the marvelous 'Fly Me to the Moon' headpiece, as purchased by the delightful Vienna Johnston, one half of Sanoii & Six!

The beautiful 'Holding Hands' hat

 

One of our absolute *favourite* pieces - the 'Going to a Town' headpiece, using stunning 1930s vintage veiling.

A very big thank you of course to Sarah and Brooke of The Finders Keepers and Zoe, Penny and Kelly from Gaffa Gallery who all helped make the event such a success. They are all so very wonderful.

Speak to you all soon!

The pop-up shop OPENS!

Yesterday we flung open the doors to our new pop-up shop!

 hats and hats and hats, oh my!

We have decked it out in all our lovely pieces and thought we'd share a few quick snaps with you all before the official launch next Thursday...

 lovely hand-restored painted feathers from the 1920s...

And introducing the first pieces from our new collection 'Razzle Dazzle Rose' - 

the 'Row Boat Sweethearts' straw hat complete with sweet corsage detail!

Probably the hardest for me to part with - antique silk spiderweb veiling from the 1930s!
So soft, so delicate. Swoon!

Of course, a few lovely people have been a big help:
A special thanks to James from Re-Creations who kindly lent us the absolutely stunning mirror and shelving. It's a perfect match for every other piece of decor and does the space a world of favours! Both are also for sale...

And to Stacey from Busy Bee Garden Service for lending us the picturesque plants and succulents. She very sweetly has faith that I won't kill them!

And what are hat's without hatstands? When displayed: not very much at all. Arjuna from Mandali Guitars kindly took a moment from many far more important projects to whip up a number of beautiful tall and sturdy hat stands for us. We love them!

We certainly hope to see you at the opening next Thursday

When: Thursday 30th September, 6-9pm
Where: Gaffa Gallery, ground floor, 281 Clarence Street Sydney
What: LAUNCH PARTY!
For: The Arcade Project featuring Ginny & Jude Designs, Finders Keepers Collective and Frankie Magazine Reading Room

See you there!
