Millinery takes its toll. Last week I had to quit my volunteer job I'd had for over four years, narrating books at the C.N.I.B. for people with poor vision. I loved that job and the people I worked with, whether volunteers or staff. It was a privilege to do that job, and you have to pass two auditions to get it. It hurt to say goodbye, but there are not enough days in the week as it is for me to do and make what I want with my hats, so say goodbye I did.
Still sucks, though.
So here are some images that remind me why I did what I did.
Snoopy was the absolute cutest husky puppy who waited patiently for his "granddad" to retrieve him at the Market last Saturday.
Denyse Dufour looks tres chic in her jazzy new blue fedora. She put it on at a rakish angle immediately, so I knew she was a true hat person. Look for her in it at the theatre this season, especially if it's in French.
Lauren (left) and Leslie took some time out from settling back in to university life to invest in some of my embellished hairbands. They look lovely, and as they are both studying opera, they sound lovely, too.
Young Pascale (bottom), Dawn, Danielle and Aleque (L to R), models. They came from Ottawa.
Jeanine in her new red hat and her friend, who approved her choice.
And just as I was packing up, Amy made her big decision and bought the tapestry fedora. I hope she'll love it for years to come.
Thank you, universe, for another gorgeous weekend! And thank you to everyone who came by!
