I’m not talking about my “I found this in the car & won’t get sunburnt hat” in the left picture. And I didn’t buy a hat either. I did buy a headband though. Isn’t it pretty? I met Paula Singleton of What A Great Hat! at the Akron Arts Expo this weekend (she’s wearing pink in the left picture). Her vintage style hats are each originals with the most delicate & perfectly classy embellishments. Plus she’s getting ready to begin teaching classes. I suggested a hat embellishments class where you bring a thrift store hat and learn how to add flowers, beads, feathers, etc. But she also does the blocking herself for the straw hats, so I’m guessing she’ll teach that as well. I wish I got a close-up of the brown hat above my right hand. The base is hand blocked straw of the most wonderful pattern. I’d take a class to make one of those!
*Update*
Paula send a photo of that hat for us!

I want to take a hat making class! I want a black pillbox hat.
I do say… That is such a cute picture of you Colleen.
Hat making. Hmmm. Just might take that into consideration.
I agree! You should consider changing that to the picture on the about page.
And then I need to take a super cute one of me. One where I don’t look like I got caught sewing something sneeky.
