Thanks for visiting my site. I am so excited for this year's Derby Season. I have been hat, flower and feather shopping for weeks now!
A former SHA schoolmate, Tonya Yocum Eskridge, told about how she'd found the Derby Hat that she HAD TO HAVE. She found it at a local craft store. The hat was just too expensive, at over $300, but it was the perfect one for her. I had her send me a picture of the hat, although I knew it myself, as I had tried it on the week before. I recreated it for her at half of the cost and she was thrilled. I could tell when she squealed in delight when she put it on for the first time!
After that, I got more orders and more orders and soon they were piling up and I had hat orders left and right! It was so much fun, I decided to add Derby and Oaks hats to my collection.
I have wide brimmed, big floppy hats; seer-sucker fedoras (mens or womens); cowboy hats; you name it, I probably have it. The selection this year will be awesome.
The number 1 question I get: What do you have for men? Nothing...UNTIL NOW! I am making a line of men's Derby hats so they can be fashionable, too! Stay tuned for pictures.
I can also deconstruct and reconstruct designs on old hats, if you want to use one. Or you can bring in your own. Or, you can pick one of mine that is already made up. Or you can have me design it just for you according to your outfit.
Please stay tuned for more details on where you can see and try on my hats this year.
XOXO,
Jenn
