A Dog Named Lego
So what’s a Mama to do when she is so busy filling wholesale orders, doing farmers’ markets, taking care of a six year old boy and ignoring her husband and housework? Why, get a puppy, of course. I won’t begrudge anyone who thinks I’m an utter lunatic, but I have to say I have never…
Read MoreWishing for a Hurricane
It is brutally hot here right now. I am a barely functioning human being. The good news is that a hurricane is on the way this Saturday. Today was farmers market day and thankfully we brought the show indoors. I came home to this wonderful e-mail from a customer from Massachusetts who featured one of…
Read MoreOh, Right… The Beach.
I am ashamed to admit that yesterday was our first time at the beach this summer. I have lots of excuses, but I’ll spare you. After hearing report after report from friends who said you could actually go in the water, we packed up the car and went to hang out with friends at one…
Read MoreBathing Caps and Bathing Beauties
The mornings are now chilly here in Nova Scotia. It still warms up pretty quickly, but summer’s days are numbered. My table at the farmers’ market is now filled mostly with fleece hats.

I am successfully neglecting every plant that I have managed to plant this season. These ones are a little harder to kill. They are all part of headbands and hats headed for Jane’s Fashions at 44 Ontario st. in Stratford, Ontario
Read MoreThe Big Ex Revisited
It’s that time of year again. The Big Ex is in town. There was no earthly way to avoid it. Although we went on Tuesday it has taken me until today (Saturday) to be able to write about it. That’s because my son had that kind of impressive kicking and screaming meltdown in the middle…
Read MoreThe CBC Interview
O.K, My technological skills are really being tested. It took about a month, but I finally figured out how to convert the DVD of my CBC interview for the internet. Just a refresher- Queen Elizabeth visited Canada, beginning her visit in Nova Scotia and the CBC contacted me to do an interview about hats in…
Read MoreLilly’s Hat
Here’s one of my favourite little girls in her new hat. Lilly and Dusty have been friends since we moved to town a couple of years ago. She’s pretty comfortable here. She has often asked me for a hat, but she has her very own strong artistic vision and you just never know if you’re…
Read MoreThe Queen and Baby ducklings
What a whirlwind of a week. The CBC did come to my house on Monday to interview me. I would say I was sickly nervous for a few days prior, but when I woke up Monday morning I just calmed down and went into performance mode. Colleen Jones was really fun. She is something of…
