A wonderful night! There is something magical when you come across passionate individuals who have a vision and see it come to life. That is what it felt like last night, magical, when the vision Nicola had sprang to life with the launch of her ethical fashion magazine Daisy Green, an idea that came to her only 6 months ago. Having a vision of where you want to be is at the core of my raw coaching model. The work and the dedication shown last night was inspiring.
The fashion show was fantastic with some stunning creations which really bought home the message that you can be ethical without giving up the glamour! I have to mention the Izzy Lane shetland sheep coats which she creates form the wool off sheep she rescues from slaughter, loves and cares for them whilst the sheep live out their natural lives in the Yorkshire Dales. They are gorgeous, the coats that is not the sheep (well the sheep do look quite cute!!)
Unfortuantly, I didn't win anything in the raffle (money raised for Lisa, she spoke of her inspirtional story of courgage when she survived the London Bus bomb of 7th July, and how she is off to help landmine victims in Cambodia with the charity MAG), now why is that, am I just not manifesting hard enough holding the winning bounty or am I just plain unlucky??!!
Onto the buffet and yes, there was some food for me to eat as there was grapes with the cheese presented in hamper baskets which I thought looked great, it inspired my friend to perhaps incorporate that idea at her wedding, and watermelon wedges which looked beautiful on a bed of green leaves with parma ham draped over - you decide if that is raw and on your menu! It has got me a thinking though, about putting together a recipe book of delectable creations that are raw and suitable for a buffet. Watch this space....
Of course my favourite part was the handbags at dawn moment when the magpie swop opened and all the ladies dived in to grab some new clothes (in return for donating some of our old clothes). I walked away with some stunning dresses and, yippee, a pair of shoes (if you know me, you will know I have a weakness for shoes!)
Thank you Daisy Green for a wonderful evening.
