Carrie’s craft is distilled with skill and has integrity visible from miles away. Each stitch of her hats represents perfection.

I own three of her hats (so far!). They are practical for life here in Northern Vermont, yet provide just the touch of understated elegance I like. They wear so well that my seven-year-old hat looks as fresh as the one I just bought.

Carrie offers her basic hats ripe for personalized embellishment that suit individual styles–always perfect for each wearer!

At the nine-day craft fair we work together each August, I see many women (and men) wearing her signature hats—each so perfect a fit for that particular human that it seems a part of them.

I love hats and have assembled a largish collection: vintage hats inherited from my great-aunt, hats I’ve traded our hand-blown glass for with contemporary hatters and many made of fleece.

Since getting my first one, I wear no hats but hers, and whether it is winter sports, doing errands in town, or at a fancy-pants craft fair in urban America, Carrie’s hats always get compliments.

Buy a hat birthed from the exuberance of this woman’s soul and, like me, you may feel beautiful, inside and out.

Exquisite & practical, Carrie’s hats are truly ‘art to wear for every head.'”
