The Lady’s got Style

January 22, 2015

I was selling my wares at our Lunenburg Farmer’s Market today, when this beautiful woman walked by.  The coat, the boots, the scarf, her hair, her face, absolute perfection.  The only thing missing was…. The headand, of course.  I was so relieved that she agreed with me.  Her name is Margaret, which is perfect because…

Lunenburg The Beautiful

January 19, 2015

Happy Monday morning.  That’s a good one, right?  I have been hoarding thoughts to share with you on this blog regarding parenting and evil fifth grade science fair projects and the adventures of accidentally discovering the very existence of this science fair project two days before it’s due date by way of another parent’s Facebook…

Never Too Old

January 12, 2015

  I have often considered changing my business name from The Hat Junkie to the Hat Therapist.  You wouldn’t believe the things I hear every time someone approaches me to look at hats…My nose is too big, my chin is too small, my forehead is too flat, I’m too fat, too skinny, too short, too…

A Slipper Slope and a True Vacation

January 4, 2015

  Happy New Year. Tomorrow is back to school day for the boy and back to reality day for the mom.  Fortunately, my reality is pretty fantasy.   In past years, I have gone from intense hat making for orders straight into intense pajama making for my boys and, not too surprisingly, I never quite got…

The Three Muses

December 17, 2014

This adorable photo comes to you from Chicago.  I received one of those hat emergency calls some weeks back that these three ladies had all purchased  polar fleece coats and now needed the matching hats.  The coat company had told them the color name and since we both use the same polartec fleece, I was…

A sweet success of a day.

December 16, 2014

Happy to report that our Drift show in Halifax was a super success, largely in part to the plethora of cookies.  It was really fun spending the day with some talented and fun ladies and force feeding our customers homemade goodies.  I baked these Rugelach, which if I may say so myself were quite the…

There’s No Place Like Work

December 8, 2014

This is where you can find me these days.  All day and into the night.  I have been filling orders up to my eyebrows.   This is the time of year when people order Christmas presents and boutiques need those hats to arrive in time for Holiday shopping.  So, the one woman sweat shop sweats on.…

Crap, Evil Pirates and a Middle aged Mom.

December 3, 2014

Last night my friend and mother to Dustin’s friend sent me this screen shot and suggested that I might want to get Dustin his own YouTube account.  We do have a few internet rules, like he is not allowed to write comments on videos.  I did actually put those parental controls on my account, but…

Puttin’ on the Glitz

December 2, 2014

You may not know this, but twelve years of my life were spent in Marblehead, MA.  Portsmouth NH is just a hop, skip and a jump away.  Such a great little town and I spent many days there.  So, I’m particularly excited that Puttin’ on the Glitz at 40 Market st.  is carrying my hats.  …
