Remember the lady with orange hair?
And her husband
Yes, that IS an octopus fascinator and she calls him Ishmael. I will be in Loughborough at a coffee morning for the Macmillan Nurses when you’re reading this. Leo’s Dad died of cancer last year and his Mum is bravely hosting at her home. I foresee a little fun in my weekend, though I won’t be wearing an octopus any time soon.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to respond to any comments today but I hope you’ll all still be playing Six word Saturday. Cate at Show My Face hopes so too. I’m scheduling this post because I’m away all weekend. Catch up with you next week! Take care!
COOL fascinator!!! Lisa looks gorgeous. I know you had a lovely time 🙂
Didn’t we!!!! 🙂 Thanks for your company, Madhu.
Now that’s what I call a fascinating fascinator! Hope you had a lovely weekend Jo, I’m catching up just now…so what’s new pussycat? 😉
Fun, isn’t it, Sherri? Not quite my style, I’d have to say 🙂
😉
Wow – who could forget Jo?! you should have also posted this one in Cee’s Odball Challenge!!
Cool capture. Have fun on your weekend!
We had a good time, Tina, and it was in a good cause. And I don’t get enough opportunities for a hug- though ‘Ishmael’ was certainly keeping an eye on me. 🙂
Great outfit and fascinator Jo! I think it must have been a fun day… 🙂
It was, Meg 🙂 We didn’t dress up- that just happened to be the most recent photo I had of Lisa. I’ve got a couple more now 🙂
A most bizarre fascinator. 😯 Your daughter is very brave.
Definitely different, Ad 🙂
I’ve just learned a new word: fascinator. Somehow I missed that one. I see they have fascinators on Amazon, but none as fascinating as the octopus.
I don’t think fascinators normally come in quite this form, Nicki 🙂 Glad to enlighten you!
So hard to say good-bye to those we love isn’t it? Sorry for Leo’s loss. Your daughter is spunky and fun! I had hair that color once upon a time! 🙂

It was a dreadful time for them, Linda, but his Mum is coping very well with life now. We had a lovely day. 🙂
I hope you are having a wonderful time! You seem to always show/teach me something new! I love that fascinator!
I do seem to sometimes inhabit a strange world, Tonya, but boredom is seldom part of it. 🙂
Enjoy your weekend away, Jo. That fascinator is fantastic! 😀
Fun, isn’t it? 🙂 Thanks, Dianne!
I remember her hair being the darker shade of red, but this looks good on her too. Enjoy your fun time, Jo!
Sort of marmalade colour, Paula. 🙂 She has the loveliest fair skin which seems to wear most things well. Yesterday was a lovely day and today I believe we’re going to Nottingham Castle then out to lunch. All is peaceful at the moment. 🙂
Have fun 🙂
Is she a professional costume maker? How old is she?
42 and she has sold her work but not recently. It takes too much time to make the costumes to do it for money so she’s an administrator by profession. 😦
Compromises we all have to make. It’s good that she is doing it in her spare time at least. Aren’t you tempted to wear some of her gowns? 😀
I’m the wrong shape entirely. She’s a curvy lady. 🙂
