Happy 2019!! With the whirlwind of the Holidays behind us it’s actually more relaxing now than it was over the Holidays – anybody else feel this way? All the hat orders are caught up and so now it’s a perfect time to grab my coffee, turn up the tunes and say….

Thank You!
Settling into 2019 takes a good week or two here in the shop…so I’d like to take this time to let you know how much you have inspired, uplifted and motivated me in 2018 and so looking forward to the same in 2019! For those that I met in person…Thank you! It was a pleasure to visit, create a handmade hat for you and get to know you. For those that are wearing a one-of-a-kind Bound handmade product…Thank you! I know you look amazing! ….anyone blushing yet? Good.
Do you have person in your life that you want to thank? Perhaps we can all start out 2019 with a big ol’ heartfelt thank you’s. If you’re the blushing type and don’t like to hear thank you – let me help you out (hopefully). It’s all about the head nod ‘n’ tilt, the turned up smile at the mouth corners and eye contact. For whatever reason some shy away from people saying thank you – they are just two simple words that can mean so much. The next time someone throws a thank you in your face or in a text (yes, it’s 2019 people – it’s okay) simply nod and smile with your eyes and it’s all good…emoji’s work, too. So, whether you wanna hear it or not…
THANK YOU
I can’t wait to share more hats and accessories with you in 2019!!

Messy End to 2018
2018 ended with messy boxes of all types. Fittingly enough I declared my own Boxing Day in the shop. I fished in the closet for the box of misfit hats and half empty boxes of crafty crap (circa 1997) and managed to unload about six empty boxes – whew! Some boxes were eye-opening and others…well, the lid went right back on. Nonetheless, it’s done and now I have some more boxes for inventory!
Upcoming Shows…more being added!
I’m starting to add shows for 2019 already! My first show of the year takes me to Rochester, MN on February 9 at the Ritz Crafters Show. This one of a kind Indie Market coincides with Rochester Winterfest!! Find more information at my 2019 Show Schedule!

Gimme a P! Gimme an O! Gimme an M!
What’s that spell!!!? POM! Stay tuned next week for some awesome new Pom Pom hats! They are back by popular demand in some new(ish) colors! – perfect for us women to wear ice fishing, ice skating, to hockey games or just plain ol’ walking the dog (that’s me!). Be sure to open your inbox next week!

Bound to be…making Pom Pom hats!
