The War-Time Woman: 19th of May 2012


I am happy (and somewhat relieved....) to announce the final line-up for our 1940s study day 'The War-Time Woman'.
1)Sheila Shreeve MBE will present an overview of the period, complete with slides, and with particular reference to Walsall's Hodson Shop Collection.
2)Then I will waffle on about how brilliant 1940s dress patterns are until someone shuts me up - please feel free to bring your patterns along for me to coo over!
3) After lunch our friend Geraldine Howell will be braving the dangers of the M6 to join us and talk about the Utility Scheme, a subject she has studied extensively.
4) And last, but by no means least, one of the nationally renowned and respected make-up artists of 'The Vintage Salon' will be joining us to share her tips and secrets of 40's hair and make-up. The photograph accompanying this post shows the handywork of the Birmingham based company, whose work has featured in magazines including Vogue.

I am also happy to announce that tickets may be reserved at no extra cost to those that have already paid their annual subscription. Any seats remaining after members have booked theirs will be available to the general public for just £10.

Hope to see you there!
