At some point last year I was contacted by a wedding photographer, Caroline Ghetes, in Charlotte NC to see if I wouldn’t mind lending her one of my fascinators in exchange for some professional photos. I checked out her web site and was pretty darn impressed. I just got the photos back yesterday. Almost can’t…

Wednesday evening, 10 p.m bake cupcakes. Planet earth for my six year old earth day birthday boy. Please don’t ask me to identify any continents. Use of imagination is highly recommended. Thursday- Head to school with cupcakes, teach dancing to kids. Thursday evening, bake more cupcakes for family party. Friday- excitement continues for imminent Saturday…

I just have to get to the point here. Courtney Love bought two hats from me on etsy yesterday. Kind of crazy, right? I always thought I’d act sort of grown up if anything like that ever happened to me, but let me tell you, you discover who you really are in these situations. I’m…

I am now busy filling summer orders. Unlike sewing polar fleece in the middle of summer, making straw hats and delicate flowers in the dead of winter is really fun. It’s the closest I will get to going south this year. I’m starting to get with the program and I am realizing that I need…
