Third st. Hand Crafters
After a long hard day of playing Star Wars, Bionicles, cops and robbers and any other game involving shooting (only the bad guys), I get a strong urge to play with dolls. These are the ones I want to play with. They are made by Third st. Hand Crafters who are from the Halifax area.…
Spring is Coming
I have decided to will spring to come by posting my favourite spring felt hat. I always find that early spring in northern climates is tough for hat lovers. One really wants to ditch the fleece, but straw just doesn’t feel right. This is my answer to a persistent hat question. I made this hat…
Some Old Photos
I have been looking at some old photos and found these guys. This was from the days of my amazing show booth that Tony made for me. When he was building it he said that it would be a success if I could set it up by myself. Ultimately he called it one of the…
My dance With the Sander
I am finally making a useful citizen of myself. Tony pointed out to me that if I didn’t spend several hours a day on flickr and etsy and looking at blogs that I might actually have a little time to help out at the house. O.K. guilty as charged. So for the past few days…

A slightly different angle
Well, now I’m really having fun with the camera. Thought I’d experiment with some unlikely views of a hat. This is a straw fedora that I originally made for my friend, Andrea. I just completed another one for Beauchapeau Hat Shop in Niagara on The Lake and have decided to offer it in my etsy…
It Never Gets Old
Yesterday this guy was right outside my window. Yes, I do spend a lot of time staring out the window. By the time I got my camera he was a little further away. I know , deer are everywhere and they are a menace to all backyard vegetation, but I can’t help it I think…
Nova Scotia Sunrise
It’s cold and beautiful out there. Here’s what I got to look at out my kitchen window this morning.
