To “Noel" a hat is “born" — dreamt up . . . discussed, then created in the deft hands of a true artist. You’ll meet “Noel" at NOEL’S MILLINERY SALON, a tiny boutique opposite the City Council in Manchester St. Noel’s handmade models are so reasonably priced, and he's able so easily, to copy a style from a magazine or recreate a style inspired by an old hat which you always favoured. Hats may be fashioned from your own fabrics, or in felt or straw, and any style is possible from a large picture hat, to a toque or a tiny whimsie. Don’t forget the Hat Spotting Competition next week in the city. The prize is a trip to Australia . . . just a gentle reminder from “Noel" of NOEL'S MILLINERY SALON. Phone 60-936. I don't mind admitting I'm Jumble Sale Joanna, and talk about finding daffodils in the grass. Who ever heard of a crazy shop where crisp, new, made-to-order smocks and lamp shades crop up amongst a glorious conglomeration of secondhand tables, chairs, compactums and wardrobes, and fascinating antiques. BITS AND PIECES have no rhyme nor reason —that's part of the charm — and they’ve recently opened at 256 Oxford Terrace, near Snowline.

Why not investigate the happy hotchpotch for yourself, at BITS AND PIECES.
