The Salvation Army Pirates

Customer of the Year

Things are calming down around here. I am now finishing up some small, manageable orders and going into hyper mommy mode. My evenings are spent making a dragon costume for Dusty. Oh, sorry, that’s FIRE BREATHING DRAGON costume. The tail is really impressive. Now that I actually have time to think I have started thinking.…

Front Page

Two nights ago I clicked on etsy to check in and there was my darling Priscilla fascinator on the front page. It’s such a thrill. Feels like winning the lottery. The amazing thing was, though, that I had that day randomnly found this other talented milliner’s blog. Her blog is called Glorious Hats. It was…
