A Hat Shop Minute
Hello, from pretty Lunenburg. As you can see from the above photo, I am open for business. I mustered up everything I learned about painting in Kindergarten and made an open sign.

Hello, hello, I just wanted to pop in here to let people know that Spring returned. Isn’t it amazing? How do those buds know to open?

Whew, I finally made it back here. It has been a whirlwind of a month. I kept trying to get some hats made to tell you about and then before I could sit down and start typing they would sell. I have been particularly delighted that my hand knit and felted hats have been finding…
Read MoreWarm Headbands For an Autumn Day
Last week I was afraid that the leaves would forget to turn. I think I have a little bit of faith deficiency syndrome. Autumn is my favourite season. I find the colours are so rich and the light is magical. All the hand knits come out, the pie baking begins and Lego and I can…

Finally, the weather is cooling down. The hand knit sweater collection is coming out of the drawers fast and furious.
