Spring Blossoms, my 2009 felt hat donation for NHPTV's Virtual Online Auction.
It’s that time of year again…
Spring has sprung in New Hampshire, so it must be time for NH Public Television’s ever-popular Auction.
Once again, I am delighted that my donated felt hat has been chosen to be part of the Virtual Gallery!
Online preview bids on my Spring Blossoms Hat are being accepted during the early online auction, from now until noon on Tuesday, May 5th.
The highest preview bid will then be posted as the original felt hat is auctioned live on NHPTV, Wednesday, May 6th, from 6:00 p.m. – midnight, during Gallery Night.
This is a great chance to get yourself a one-of-a-kind, art-to-wear felt hat, and support Public Television at the same time, so visit the Virtual Gallery and place your bid today!

My Mission
I create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you're cold. That's where a lovely, warm hat fits in!
If wearing one of my hats helps you get outside and enjoy yourself, then I will have played my small part in making the world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. It's my mission to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head.
Art-to-Wear for Every Head
Each of my Heirloom Handknit Hats begins as a giant, over-sized stocking cap, knit by hand of llama and wool.
Next, it is shrunk into a thick, durable felt in the washing machine, which is then shaped by hand and air-dried.
Finally, each hat is lined with a silky ribbon to keep it's shape and provide lasting comfort. Many are finished with freehand embroidery, as unique as the wearer.
All are signed, dated and numbered by hand.
With less than 200 made each year, these hats are truly limited-editon, art-to-wear pieces that will provide years of warmth and comfort for the lucky owner.
