White Lies Ahead of You

February 18, 2019

Remember when?

Buckets of Coffee Please

February 9, 2019

For my hat loving, hat-wearing wannabe, coffee drinking and non-coffee drinking friends, I toast my blue mug to you. (In case you’re wondering – yes, there is coffee in my mug shots). We’re going on day four of no school due to “inclement weather” which translates to “holy $#!% it’s cold outside.” Even the dog wasn’t going out in the -29 degree tundra…here’s how I’ve been thinking about you…

EMBRACE YOUR CURVES

April 18, 2018

Shedding some light today into the world of curves, from my personal perspective. Having curves is all relative and we need not worry as to where they are, why they are and how we might go crazy trying to get rid of them. I am embracing my own curves in a way that I hope will inspire. I might just talk about the popular Curvy Sister Hat also.

Lights, Camera, Bloopers

January 25, 2018

Hello Friends!
New Ready to Ship Hats alert!  Yep! Smalls, Mediums and Larges! Find them right here!

Also, ever wonder what it takes to photograph those hats on my website? The angles, the lighting, the outfit(s) are all carefully considered through a manicured process of a few simple things – a wave of impulse, a good hair day, an overcast sky and a lot of bloopers!  In this post my husband masquerades as a photographer and I gladly embrace his masquerading – because my photography daughter was unavailable. Read on to experience a mix of photo bloopers and their respective handmade hat that got them there in the first place.

So excited to share with you a handful of NEW Ready to Ship Hats on my website!
