Its been an exciting week in the shop, we started the week with the Tour de Yorkshire bike race coming past the front door on day 2 of the race with the amazing Bradley Wiggins and many other incredible competitors. Hats off to the sportsmen!

We've sold a number of hats this week for royal garden parties at Buckingham Palace. The WI is 100 years old this year so many of the members have had an invite to one of the queens annual parties.

The invite mentions hats as part of the dress code so we've seen a selection of beautiful outfits to match to hats this week. The ladies of the Womens Institute do an amazing job and raise a large amount of money towards charity each year, so its great the queen has honoured so many members with invites.
