After Five : Fashion from the Darnell Collection

I can't remember where I read that Hazlehurst's latest exhibition was a fashion collection, but it left me more than a little excited.  Granted we're not exactly spoilt for choice of galleries in the Sutherland Shire, but who needs choice when you've got Hazlehurst.  I have always loved fashion exhibitions, and although I had no idea what After Five: Fashion from the Darnell Collection was about, saw no reason why it should be the exception.

The Shire Vintage and Collectables Fair

I had an hour or so to myself this afternoon, and my latest excuse not to sew was The Shire Vintage and Collectables Show.  I love this kind of thing but usually feel too guilty to go, also I rarely get it so close to home.  My heart melted at Vanity sets like my Grandma used to have and Sindy wardrobe's like I used to have. I saw some beautiful things, but mostly it inspired me to pull out some of the things I've inherited that I already have tucked away.
