MEMORIES OF 2012

The best part of 2012 was spent with H.I.M.M's, a group of lovely hardworking women entrepreneurs Franka, Mabel, Pokuaa and Naa. They made it happen and we all had a great time inspiring each other and collaborating in ways that as individuals we never thought of. We found out that working together makes it better in so many ways and brings about healthy competition plus we learn more to build up better businesses.

Here are lots of pictures to enjoy from our events held at Franka's lovely coffee shop in Airport residential area in Accra. Going to Cuppa Cappuccino is a must no matter what, they've got the best iced tea and smoothies.

Our events started with Christmas in November, and ended with HIMM's gifts for Christmas. It was lovely seeing our favourite clients and meeting new ones. The highlight of the night was the cocktail topped with a yummy trifle, courtesy Franka.

 Hatsoff with a client. Dedication.

 Festive green spiral statement piece.

 Lilac braided seed bead, Krobo bead  and  brass cone.

 Winding down the day with a sip and chat.

 An evening with our best friends having a round table discussion, about ... maybe the trifle?

 Coral and crystal charm necklace.

 Kwaku David captured the moment with the best shots at the grand opening of Mardi Gras the bake shop next to Cuppa Cappuccino and the beginning of H.I.M.M's.

 Show off anklets and spikey blue suede shoes. Would love them in red too.

 Accessories Galore

 Baby pink, turquoise and sky blue seed beads. Didn't look bad at all. This piece was snatched before I could say a word and am real happy that my trials and mistakes is a piece to cherish.

That's Mabel the creative director for Msimps bringing out more goodies from her goody bag and Franka owner of the best Cafe in town Cuppa Cappuccino looking on just to make sure she picks out her favourite.

 Hats, Fascinators, Hatinators. Am sure you can call it different names and they will perform the magic you need for that special occassion. Pale pink rose, that is what I will call it. Created by my friend and accessory colleague Poqua of Hatsoff. Check out her blog www.ntflowers.blogspot.com

 Accessorizing the Miss Ghana 2012 beauty queens at the street fashion concert in Osu, Accra. It was a fun night with the girls.

 There is always something about the colour red that strikes me and completes all outfits. This lovely coral piece interspersed with other African collections definitely could not escape the camera.

Back Tracking

Lots have happened and I will have to bunch it all in one because we don't want to miss out on any more. I have promised myself that my posts will be more regular with lots of pictures no matter how mismatch it gets. 

Starting with my new venture into fabric and almost getting swallowed in the patterns of African wax print. One of my favourite bags which I am considering producing with a difference.

ACCESSORIES GALORE

We had a blast with our lovely clients and friends at Pa John's quaint garden in Kanda. Msimps and Inka decided to accessorize the girls with all the beautiful things they like. We hung up various colourful bag collections and neck pieces. It was a great afternoon which led to a cool evening with scented candles spotting the pebbled garden. We got talking and mingling and here are some pictures we want to share with you.

Still fiddling with how to work on my blog till i get almost perfect. I have lots of bridal accessories to make this week and it seems this is the season of purples, mauve's and lavender for our to be brides. So excited to be working with all these lovely ladies who are so spot on with how they wish to look on that special day. Will share pictures as and when the items are ready. In the meantime I will share with you a few bridal accessories we made for our last year brides over a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Enjoy!
