hats
A great discovery
One part of my self written job description is to browse the web and look at other people’s blogs. It’s quite hard to convince Tony that I am really working, but I assure you I am. Yesterday I came across Helen Dardik’s blog. Which of course led me to her etsy site, orange studio and…
Read MoreMy Protigee
It seems that Dusty is a chip off the old block or maybe that’s chip off the old block head. I think he designed quite the alien head piece. After our millinery session we went to the Lunenburg Community Centre. On Sundays the gym is open for kids between 12:30-2:30. For a $5 donation kids…
Read MoreThe Neighbourhood
We have about one month to go before we move into our new home. I think the thing I’m looking forward to most is our new/old neighbourhood. A while back I was with Dusty and we were walking by there and he announced that he was thirsty, in that “I can’t go on” sort of…
Read MoreGingerbread houses and other frivolities
My days have been filled with joyful uselessness. I had big plans of painting our new house, but every time I was just about to head over there it seemed crucial that I make a felted pumpkin or something like that. Dusty and I and my friend Katja with her daughter Lilly spent a day…
Read MoreA perfect ending
Today was the perfect ending to a wonderful hat season. The Hubbards Market was super busy and I sold lots of hats. It was beyond cold in that beautiful barn, but people came out to support their local market. I’m a terrible chicken when it comes to driving in the snow, so when I woke…
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 MoreBefore
When we first came to Lunenburg a bit over a year ago we moved to the bottom floor of a house site unseen. Turned out to be the most perfect little neighbourhood. Dusty would sit on the stoop and chat with all the neighbours, greet every passerby and enjoyed the thrill of crossing the street…
Read MoreCustomer of the Year
Things are calming down around here. I am now finishing up some small, manageable orders and going into hyper mommy mode. My evenings are spent making a dragon costume for Dusty. Oh, sorry, that’s FIRE BREATHING DRAGON costume. The tail is really impressive. Now that I actually have time to think I have started thinking.…
Read MoreLunenburg Farmers’ Market
Today I set up my hats at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market. I’ll be there every Thursday from 8-12 throughout the summer. It is the most wonderful community event. There’s no way to not sound corny, but it’s a feast for the senses. There are so many farmers, bakers of incredible breads and pastries, The laughing…
Read MoreI Did It
I did it!! Unbelievable. My summer line is finished and on my way to my sales rep. That was done while moving for the second time in 5 months, filling winter orders and making valiant efforts at being a mother. I actually had graciously refused to do a summer wholesale line, feeling like the stress…
