Customer Appreciation Day

May 4, 2014

I’m having one of those female highly emotional days. Ya, you know what I mean. I’m just sitting here blubbering and thinking about how much I love my customers. I have also been crying over dog food commercials, but still, the feeling is real. The thing is, sometimes I get these great little pats on…

The Making of a Wet Felted Hat

February 21, 2014

I love this hat and fortunately, I love my aunt, who I made it for even more. Making this sort of hat is a small act of insanity. There is no measuring the hours. I had to stop calculating somewhere after 3 days. Wet felting is a process I truly love and the clock just…

Heidi’s Photos

January 19, 2014

Here we are in January. Not sure how that happened. I often have things I want to share with you, but then I have to make a choice between cooking dinner, cleaning the bathroom or blogging and sometimes I just have to do the “grown up” thing. After all, next week I will be 46…

Beauties at the Historic Halifax Market

November 24, 2013

Tony and I have been selling our wares at the old Historic Halifax Market. I really love it there. While the crowds are pushing each other at the Seaport market down the street, customers are leisurely shopping in the most gorgeous historic stone building. Regina ordered this fascinator from me and I wish I could…

Adorable Customers

November 12, 2013

So many adorable customers. This is Jamie, sporting her Charlotte hat in the rain. A woman with style. What more can I say. She’s just perfect. Randi is one of my favourite regular customers. It’s true I have a lot of favourites, but that’s because fabulous, strong women are attracted to my hats. I love…

A Walk Around Lunenburg

November 4, 2013

The other day my dad e-mailed me to see if my blog site was not working. He thought it odd that the last post was from August 31st. Hint well taken. So, here I am, coming up for air after having completed a few hundred hats for wholesale orders. Thought I’d bring you along on…

Going Out with a Bang

August 31, 2013

Back to school. Bitter sweet. Bitter for Dusty and sweet for me. Just joking. It’s been a wonderful summer, full of too hot days where we escaped to the lake, rain that we thought would never end, but did and then perfection, also known as August,where it’s cold at night and in the morning, but…

Hello From The Middle of Summer

July 19, 2013

Hello from the middle of summer. Tony and I had a very rare date together. This was courtesy of Dusty being at a 5 day overnight camp. There’s a whole story there in itself, but I’ll sum it up by saying that I’m not as tough as I pretend to be. I know the minute…

Lady Luck

June 10, 2013

For a couple of years now I have been selling my winter hats at Lady Luck Boutique in the Hydrostone Market in Halifax. This year we decided to see how the summer hats would sell. Well, they have been flying out the door. There’s nothing more fun than getting a frantic message that more hats…
