All Your Beautiful Faces
Hello Everyone, I have missed you. As you may know, I took the radical step of deleting my social media accounts. Was it a month ago…two months ago? At first it felt very awkward. With twitching fingers, I kept picking up my phone, trying to find an app to open. There are only so many…
Read MoreMy State of the Art Marketing Technology
Last night I wrote this very long winded post explaining why I deleted my social media accounts. When I reached the end I looked at it and thought, this might be the most boring thing I have ever written. There are so many interesting things happening in Canadian news right now and somehow, The Hat…
Read MoreHow To Make a Straw Braid Hat
The following video is a tutorial for other milliners. I am in no way an expert in making straw braid hats, but I had a request from another milliner for some help understanding their antique straw braid machine. The video is long and kinda boring, but it serves a purpose. I’d love to hear from…

I live in a beautiful town with a beautiful family and I make hats all day in a life size doll house. Once again, I need to drone on about how lucky I am. This past week I felt ridiculously lucky. With the help of my new brochure people are finally finding me. I had…

I almost love everything about this photo. This is beautiful Ivy Rose marching into The Hospital for Sick Children for round three of chemo. I love this photo because it is just so Ivy Rose. Her stance says, let’s do this! I love that her doll is always with her and I love that she…

Heidi’s website is being updated right now, but you can find her on Facebook by clicking HERE. The photo below is from our very first photo shoot.…
Read MoreMarried to The Lunenburg Furniture Co.
I do tend to talk about myself quite a bit and no one will attest to that fact more than my talented husband, Tony. So, today it is all about the man. It is no small coincidence that my spirit of generosity coincides with Tony’s announcement that it is time to build some beautiful doors…
Read MoreThe Competition – Edie
I know I should be in competition with another curly haired, ex dancer, mad as a loon hat maker that also happens to live in Nova Scotia, but the fact is, I just adore her. What’s a girl to do. How can I feel anything but love for a woman that happens to love all…
Read MoreUnsung Heroes
Last night we went to a beautiful tribute to veterans who had been unrecognized by the Canadian Government: Aboriginals, African Nova Scotians, Acadians, Canadian Merchant Marines. It was called Unsung Heroes.I had no idea what I was in for, but it was very beautiful. Music, traditional dances and story telling at the beautiful St. John’s…
Read MoreMy Aimless Walk
I will begin this blog post with a hat and the adorable Andrienne from Quebec City who bought it from me, but that is just because she is so damn cute and I had to put her on here, somewhere. The real reason I am writing this post is to tell you about the great…
