I love Halifax

January 16, 2011

Yesterday I set up my wares at the Halifax Market again. I had only one goal and that was to get there alive. I’m on the road at 4:30 a.m and the thought of being pried out of bed in the middle of the night and then driving for an hour and a quarter always…

I needed that.

January 4, 2011

Just got back from visiting family in Maine. It was just what the doctor ordered- no work for 5 days, lazing around whilst drinking wine, stuffing my face with delicious food and playing in the snow. I almost feel normal. Enjoy the photos and Happy New Year.

April in Blue

December 28, 2010

I had the honour of making this blue merino felt hat for my favourite neighbour’s daughter in law. It’s the same as the yellow hat from the last post. I couldn’t have a lovelier model.

Grand Finale

December 19, 2010

Saturday was my last market of the season and it was truly grand. It felt like the finale of a fabulous fireworks display. I sold some of my all time favourite hats and it seemed like they were made only for these customers. I love to look at these photos and see the diversity of…

Organic dog Food…..Really?

December 17, 2010

I am a walking target market. My shopping cart is always filled with organic junk food, any product that looks like it might heal our lives and yes, organic dog food with no corn, soy, sugar, wheat or GMO’s added. I’m starting to wonder, though. Yesterday was a classic example of my puppy’s diet. At…

My favourite Sale

December 11, 2010

Not to say that all my hat sales are not my favourite, but every once in a while there is the perfect union between hat and head that feels like divine intervention. Today was the Hubbard’s Christmas Market and this lovely tall and stylish lady came up to me and said how she really wanted…

Stop on by

Hi Everyone, It’s Christmas market time. This Saturday I’ll be at the Halifax Seaport Market from 7am till 4 pm. The following Saturday I will be at the Hubbard’s Barn from 8-12 and the following Saturday back at the Seaport Market. If anyone is feeling sympathy for me about my early rising time I do…

Our vanishing Puppy

November 21, 2010

This is what happened when I turned my back for one minute. Fear not, Doggy was rescued from six year old tyranny.

Come One Come All

November 14, 2010

You have got to check this place out. Yesterday My boys and myself trekked into Halifax to sell my wares at the new Halifax Seaport Market. It was phenomenal in every way. I sold many hats which was very exciting and fun, but just to see this place was incredible. The building is huge and…

Halifax Bound

November 12, 2010

Tomorrow morning I am heading to the new Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market to sell my wares. Very excited to see this fabulous new building and be surrounded by all kinds of local gourmet goodies. Not quite as excited to be on the road at 4:30a.m, but for this I have recruited my most wonderful husband/chauffeur.…
