You’ll be hearing from me a little more often now.
Just made the crazy discovery that so many of the photos I have uploaded onto facebook have just plum disappeared. So, I will be posting lots of my creations here from now on. This is my latest wet felted hat and was photographed by the ever so talented Maddy Kendall. www.madeleinekendall.com

Fall is in its full splendor in Lunenburg. Every morning I walk the dog and marvel at the beauty of this amazing town I live in. I also marvel at my inability to capture it in my photos. Well, lucky me. I have joined forces with one talented lady that lives right here. Her name…
Read MoreBeauties at the Historic Halifax Market
Tony and I have been selling our wares at the old Historic Halifax Market. I really love it there. While the crowds are pushing each other at the Seaport market down the street, customers are leisurely shopping in the most gorgeous historic stone building. Regina ordered this fascinator from me and I wish I could…

Tony has built me the most beautiful hat shop/ studio. It’s truly a dream come true. This space was once filled with mold and mushrooms and when it rained outside it rained inside.

Other than torturing the dog and occasionally his mother, Dusty spent most of the summer reading Calving and Hobbes over and over and over. I gave him my camera to play with and the card was filled with hundreds of photos taken from his Calvin and Hobbes books. I decided not to question the logic…

This is the first time I have ever been happy to look at a photo of myself. The beautiful setting and the smiling woman behind the camera had a lot to do with me being relaxed. Heidi’s just going to have to agree to be the official Hat Junkie photographer.
Read MoreA Great Weekend
Last weekend was the Halifax Crafter’s show. I met many wonderful new and old customers and also spent a fair amount of time salivating over the work of the other artists. It’s one of the nicest shows I have ever seen. People lined up to get in when the show opened and it was still…
Read MoreA Little Escape
I haven’ been writing much lately because I have been busy trying to get those wholesale orders out. It has been quite nice hiding away in my studio making hats, but sometimes I just dream of making something beautiful, impractical and that loses money in every way. So, with that in mind, I took the…
