It’s All About Curves

By

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

By

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!

Fleece Meets Fashion and Function

By

A little R&R from the B&B (bread and blog) and visiting at S&S (Sister Summit) has me locked and focused for my busiest season yet!  First of all…

Thank you to all that came out to my Open House!

It was super fun and a huge success! I didn’t even have time to take ANY photos – note to self for next time: have a photographer (a.k.a. daughter). I couldn’t be more honored they choose me to be their custom hat maker. So pleased to see them wearing their new handmade hats!

If you are scratching your head thinking, “I live in Kansas – how could’ve I possibly made it to that Open House!?”  Don’t fret! I’d love to here from you and help you with your custom hat needs. Contact me right here and we’ll start the conversation.

So what does Bound have in store for this crazy cool start to November? Let me tell you – it’s more than just a mild case of hunkering down for winter. Let’s start with warm fleece and snow plow the myth of “shoveling snow hats can’t be cute”.

Do you feel needed?

By

That feeling of being needed or wanted or even liked – is awesome. For example, take these new knit slouchy hats pictured above, they are all unique and special in their own way and so pretty in their existence in a photo together, much like a community of special-ness. Okay, so I’m a little drama-llama with my handmade hats. Truth be told, handmade hats are not the only thing I am attached to….
