the Hat Junkie

My Guy

This is my guy and this is what he does. Every waking, breathing moment. Lego, lego, lego. Other than finding it between my toes and up my nose, it is the best toy in the world.

Lunenburg Farmers’ Market

Today I set up my hats at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market. I’ll be there every Thursday from 8-12 throughout the summer. It is the most wonderful community event.
