Hats!

Not to repeat Katrina too much, but if you'd like to know what's been eating my brain of late, it's this:

Join Vintage Hillsboro in a benefit for the Hillsboro Historical society!
The first ever
Time Travelers Marketplace and Ball!

THIS SATURDAY October 9th!

There's going to be pirates, Victorians, civil war heroes, Jane Austin herself, steampunks aplenty and a Tardis...!
3 different bands escort us musically through the centuries as we receive dance demonstrations from the regency era to 1950s swing!
BUY ADVANCE TICKETS AND SAVE $8 a person!

Look for me at the Seams Unusual/Overwrought Designs booth. Just look for all of the strange hats with birds on. You can't miss it.

I've been making hats for a trial run of selling them, to see if there's a market. At current, I only have a few photos, and preliminary ones at that, but if you'd like to take a look through them, here's a link. Warning: most of the hats feature, in the Victorian tradition, bird wings and/or skins, so if that creeps you out, you probably won't be happy looking at the pics. Anything that doesn't sell at the event (which you really should come to, if you're in the area) will go up on my new Etsy page. Links will be posted once there's something up there. I'm going by the name Overwrought Designs, and we'll see what happens!

Oh, and please note: the rather scruffy-looking grouse hat is meant to look scruffy.
