HINT From You

" I like your heatshrink plastic joiners.Ii find that if I use an emery board to file down both ends, they fit snugly into the joiner. That way, it's easier to hold the join while I'm using the heatgun. It was either that or grow a third hand, something I'm always wishing for.
--Marilynn, Portland OR

Thinking about the cold winter we are experiencing and thought this hat quote fits quite well. I have received compliments from strangers on the street referring to their joy at seeing my cheery look. My reply, besides the obvious thank you, is that I try each day to add some zing to my outfit since the weather is so dreary.

One day in March it will suddenly turn into Spring, but there is lots of snow and ice needing to melt before that happens.

Imagining Daffodils,
Judith

"Some hats can only be worn if you're willing to be jaunty, to set them at an angle and to walk beneath them with a spring in your stride as if you're only a step away from dancing. They demand a lot of you." -- Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

The all new London Hat Week (LHW) is set to launch on Thursday March 6th, 2014 at an exclusive preview of 'My Favourite Hat', a fascinating new exhibition featuring the inspiration of some of London's most famous hat personalities. London Hat Week will celebrate every aspect of making and wearing hats in the city which is leading the worldwide revival of millinery and hatting. We are pleased to help sponsor the week and wish it every success.

Twenty-two Colors of Sinamay Straw Cloth

7 of the 22 colors in sinamay

Yes! We now offer twenty-two different colors of sinamay. And we will be adding a silk abaca blend in straw cloth soon as the weavers finish and it can be shipped to us. That will most likely be in late May.

Our sinamay is one of the prizes in the 2014 Mad Hatter's Society 3rd Annual Hatmaking Competition. Visit their Facebook page for more details. Find them at Mad Hatters Society.
