Lunenburg The Beautiful
Happy Monday morning. That’s a good one, right? I have been hoarding thoughts to share with you on this blog regarding parenting and evil fifth grade science fair projects and the adventures of accidentally discovering the very existence of this science fair project two days before it’s due date by way of another parent’s Facebook…

Happy New Year. Tomorrow is back to school day for the boy and back to reality day for the mom. Fortunately, my reality is pretty fantasy. In past years, I have gone from intense hat making for orders straight into intense pajama making for my boys and, not too surprisingly, I never quite got…
Read MorePuttin’ on the Glitz
You may not know this, but twelve years of my life were spent in Marblehead, MA. Portsmouth NH is just a hop, skip and a jump away. Such a great little town and I spent many days there. So, I’m particularly excited that Puttin’ on the Glitz at 40 Market st. is carrying my hats. …

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…

Tony has built me the most beautiful hat shop/ studio. It’s truly a dream come true. This space was once filled with mold and mushrooms and when it rained outside it rained inside. I could never have seen the transformation. One of Tony’s many talents. Tony is almost finished building my beautiful cutting table, which…

It’s really happening. Tony just hung up the first round of hat stands in my new studio. I think I may actually start moving in tomorrow. So, is it true what they say? “If you build it they will come.” See you this summer in Lunenburg, right?

No longer will I have to find fabric in a dark closet. I’ve got shelving! I look at this beauty and wonder how I will fill it up, but I know I am kidding myself. I have been collecting anything that looks like it might be useful to me at some point in my career…
