Happy New Year and welcome to 2012! 
Hopefully there has not been enough time for anything to go wrong as yet. Here at Props n Frocks, we are taking today and tomorrow off from opening the Battlesbridge emporium, whilst still crafting some anecdotal information for the benefit of the blogs. Of course not everybody celebrates New Year today (the Chinese have to wait until January 23rd, when we enter the highly exciting Year of the Dragon – you will have noticed a few major events are planned for 2012).
2012 is going to be a big year for Props & Frocks, what with being featured on a new BBC2 programme, going out towards the end of the month – we’ll keep you informed as we get nearer the date!
Today, generally we are taking one of those well-earned rests which are so popular at this time of the year. Not that we are necessarily resting on our laurels – they need smoothing out and putting back with the Ancient Times collection. Tomorrow we will be looking at one of the potential key costuming trends of 2012 (and we don’t mean royal regalia or sporting gear).
