La Paloma Hats

Yes, but I also noticed how dedicated you are as you diligently returned to the task at hand, without so much as a whimper...

A true artist ye be my good man!!

I thank thee for the compliment.

Dedication is a good thing to have as a value. I like working with my hands on pretty things. However, working on my hands isn't so pleasant!

I wanted a more petite feminine hat for my Elizabethan garb and searched the great land of eBay.  I found the following seller.  She was wonderful to work with.  Extremely accomodating.  Will make hats out of ur own fabric, if u send it to her. She'll do rush orders without any fuss or extra charge.  The hats are all very period!! Very well made, and good for the pocket books!!  I got the hat and matching caul for only $65.  When i got them, i put my own beads on them to jazz them up a bit.  i love them!!

I agree with Rumy, her hat is georgous.  I decided I needed one too, so I emailed her on Monday and finally got all the details worked out on Tuesday.  It required her to embroider and make a new caul for me and she did it that day and sent it out that day too so that it would arrive by this Friday for me!!!  Talk about awesome!

Also, for those who like HA, she uses a variation of the Lynn McMaster pattern which is very period correct from what I've heard.
