It's time to take a break from showing my county fair contest submissions. It's also time to take the leap into the contest arena. So, I've done some brainstorming, and I asked myself, "
what would I want to receive from a millinery contest?" OK, my answers were a bit too broad, so this time I chose to deal with addressing the needs of those that are interested in making hats and those that currently make hats. I came up with several answers: hat blocks, millinery tools, millinery supplies. Well, I'm not giving away hat blocks or tools, at least for this contest, but I am giving away a few millinery supplies.
Here are a few supplies I'll be giving away: Jinsin, fur felt hood, straw cartwheel, grosgrain ribbon, millinery wire, wire joiners, feathers, blocking cords, vintage veiling, and cobweb.
Winner's choice. The winner will be allowed to choose an additional millinery supply item I have in my possession (straw, felt, trim, etc., just ask) to be added to their winnings.
Surprise Items!! The best items are not shown in the images. I'll throw in some additional items, but these will come from my stash of loved items. I may even cry as I'm putting them into the box to ship.

LilDevilGrl requested trim, more specifically lace, for her special request. I have to admit that I don't collect lace, but I hope she will be happy with what I sent her. The extras I sent along were ribbon, vintage veiling, a beautiful black fur felt hood, extra wire joiners, hat elastics, veiling pins, rhinestones, extra blocking cords, and some extra feathers. See Make Your Own Art for other gifts she received which included jinsin, straw hat body, wire joiners, cobweb, blocking cords, millinery wire, grosgrain ribbon, feathers, and vintage chenille.
