Hairpins

 Variegated purple for Tatting Marie

Blue for Lenhen

 Yellow for Kathy N

Hairpins were tatted in their colour choices. I had a fun time tatting these for Kathy, Lenhen and Marie. It was a surprise giveaway here. I had to use the oval filigree hairpin as the round ones were out of stock.

    It's so cool to know that my sweet yellow hairpin has traveled all the way from Singapore to Pittsburgh PA - and arrived very quickly! Thank you SO MUCH for this very special gift!

    The photos don't quite show how very perfect and delicate the tatting and beads are in person! I still don't know how you got the thread through the tiny holes in the filigree!

    Believe it or not, I chose the yellow color to match our classic car ('69 Pontiac GTO), and I will be proudly wearing it on my black visor at the car shows (or on one of my black jackets) so it can be seen by the many spectators who come to see the cars.

    I often tat at these events, so I will be able to explain how the internet has brought about this special connection among tatters, literally from around the world!

    Definitely will share a photo with the hairpin! We're hoping to go to a show tomorrow (if the weather cooperates)! It's a big one with at least 1,000 cars (every Friday!) It's almost like a carnival atmosphere with lots of visitors. I have a couple of photos of the car on my blog. Just type "GTO" in the search box.

    They're all so pretty! Two of my daughters use hair pins all the time. I've never been able to get them to stay in. I don't know if it's because my hair is too thick, or if I just don't know how to use them! Anyway, congratulations to the winners! I'm sure they'll all look lovely in their new finery!

    My purple one arrived a couple days ago, and I just love it! Have just the perfect outfit to wear it with, too. Thanks! (Having computer problems for several days now. Hope I can get it worked out soon.)

    They're beautiful! I don't use hairpins, but seeing them makes me wish I did!
