Spring always comes early in California, so my first hat workshop of the year is going to be held at my dear friend Cathy Mogull's casa in Carpenteria,  Summerland Mercantile. February 4th, 2012.

This is my uber popular, basic blocking millinery class for everyone. We will block the crown on a mold that fits your head, stitch in an inner ribbon to keep the size, slip a wire in the brim and trim with ribbon and vintage flowers. Everything is included in the class price to finish your hat.

I've heard rumors we may have some surprise students showing up....

Please join us!

After years of research and collecting, designing and planning, we are so so excited to finally launch our first ever inspired collection of the month. We are calling this precious assemblage of treasures "Cachette du mois".

Inspired by the seasons, flowers and folklore, every month we will offer a different color box filled with vintage and new, sentimental bits of ephemera, to save or use in the most special of your creations. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the custom "made for us", band boxes, to our own labels and packaging. We have even designed a beautiful post-card to go along with each month's collection.

Lets start with January, 2012......

January is a time for calm, for reflection. It's quiet and cozy with cool muted colors and warm fires. The beginning of a new year full of promise and hope. Long shadowed snowy trees, and icicles hanging from the eaves.

These are the inspirations for this months Cachette du Mois.
