Happy 100 to me
In January it will be 2 years since I posted my first item on etsy. I never thought it was possible to sell a hat over the internet. Well, today I sold my 100th hat on etsy. I guess I was wrong. At the risk of sounding like a walking advertisement. I LOVE ETSY. It’s…
Read MoreThe Outside
The house is coming along great (other than the shock of the price of faucets). Thought you might like to see some photos of the outside. The condition of the paint is a little scary and because we have decided that the inside comes first it might look like this for a while. We have…
Read MoreA Little Fun
With a sick child (who is much better by the way) and after finishing what felt like a gazillion wholesale orders (no complaints here) a girl needs to do something just plain fun. That’s what felting is for me. Yesterday I made a new fascinator/cocktail hat. I’m off to post it on etsy. The next…
Read MoreFront Page
Two nights ago I clicked on etsy to check in and there was my darling Priscilla fascinator on the front page. It’s such a thrill. Feels like winning the lottery. The amazing thing was, though, that I had that day randomnly found this other talented milliner’s blog. Her blog is called Glorious Hats. It was…
Read MoreA Light at the end of the Tunnel
I am actually seeing an end to the orders. Well, hopefully not the end end, but an end to the complete madness. I am really looking forward to cleaning my studio. I will have to photograph it before I do so that I can shatter any ideas of being a together person. Every time I…
Read MoreBuried Under Hats
I’ve been thinking about writing in my blog. Really. In the same way I have been thinking of doing the dishes, laundry, cleaning my studio, going for a walk, getting a massage. I try to remind myself that this is a really good thing, but I am buried under a pile of hats. The orders…
Read MoreToo Hot!
I thought I would never see temperatures over 90 F. 30 C, give or take, since leaving New York. I am always bragging about our wonderful temperate weather. Well now my parents are here for a visit from Toronto and I’m eating my words. It’s HOT! Hopefully it won’t last too long. We have waited…
Read MoreBlue Rocks
Last weekend was the biggest Lunenburg weekend there is all year. I’d have to say it would be a big weekend anywhere. It was the Folk Harbour Festival. An annual event that lasts 4 days. The town is packed with people. Tony and I love folk music, but we are still afraid of shelling out…
Read MoreThe Big Ex
I think I have been waiting for something exciting to happen in our lives before writing in my blog. Today it happened. The Big Ex was in town. The exhibition that is. In the states it’s known as the county fare. You know, the rides, livestock, the rides, poultry, the rides, local gymnastics show, the…
Read MoreBy Myself In the Big City
Last Friday marked a momentous occasion in my life. For the first time in five years I spent a weekend alone without husband or child. I LOVED IT!!! I adore my child, he is my sun and moon, but I had three precious mornings where I was not woken by way of being pounced on.…
