Three Forks Crazy Hat Lady

06/04/2020

June is here, so much time has gone by and my soul is weary. A feeling that I'm sure Many are going through. Know I'm Not alone in this. A Wake Up call that Mother Earth needs us to change our ways. Not progressing forward with knowledge. Spending much of my time in solitude, keeping in harmony and distance of some questionable energy that is happening all around the earth. Little bit health issues now resolved. I've made a decision to stop selling hats and only keep the ones I plan to wear. All others will be parted with. Not sure when, pray tell, but it will be for a good price when I do. Waiting a bit more for the corona time. Please do Not ask from a shipping distance. Will Not be doing that. Locally preferably. So everyone stay safe, Smile a bit and share so we can brighten up the gloomies......See you out there

I am very excited for the holidays and I mean All of them! To Thanksgiving, Christmas and a better New Year!! As you all know, the last few years were pretty tough. I Made It though and still here. Want to tell you of 2 experiences that deal with my hats and people I have met in the last few weeks. I Do wear one of my hats every time I go out. This particular day I was in Michael's and spreading Smiles. Christmas idea's and head spinning when a lady came up to me expressing her love for my hat and needed to say she had been watching me. Oh No, stalker, haha... Her name is Barbara and don't you know, we both feel like we were born in the wrong era. So much in common but it's What she does that peaked my interest. She is one of the 25 classic campers that set up as a group and this will be their second year in Threeforks! Inviting me to the event as well as make hat and wear classic clothes. Oh yeah. Last year I saw someone in group go to Car Quest last year with a pink camper pulled by a pink Ford truck and said, Boy would I like to own something like that! Well, probably not in my cards but I can at least have fun with them. Woohoo. Second story is I visited Montana Camp store( dont remember correct name in Belgrade) but right as I walked in door, greeted with excitement on hat. Chatted quite awhile and we both impressed with each other. Small world in how you know each other from. They rounded people in place to introduce me and the person who does advertisement, said hi and knew me from Manhattan Potato Festival and farmers market. Explained my not being there lately and they want me to open booth there or at least go this Saturday for events. We will see what the weather brings. My heart is pretty full on meeting new friends. Thank you all for taking the time to talk with me and share a Smile. See you out there and Share Your SMILE!

Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. Considering sadness in losing my best fur baby, paperwork screw ups by employees and weather, I'm still sound in mind. Ok, NO laughing now....actually Spot on and a direction. Lots has changed as well as the reason I started Crazy Hats. I love wearing them and making people SMILE or chuckle. Yesterday was a Good example of that. Naturally wearing a very embellished Halloween hat which was greeted with almost every person I came into contact. From Wal-Mart to Drs. office. Bloodwork next and I basically caused a parade of people inquiring Special occasion? Your hat? Oh, l like you because of just who you are!! Walk into room for blood draw and one woman in awe of hat and told me her birthday is Halloween, so guess who got a birthday gift?! Walked out in cap only and found the gal in waiting room showing everyone her new gift/hat. Double wow, as if I gave her a million dollars!! So with great news from doctors that I am on the right road, but still have a ways to go, I've decided that I will not be vending my hats. Will sell majority of hats considering I still have 81! In due course, lessen amount and make some to keep wearing. Always putting a Smile on people's faces...Be happy, I'm happy, pay it forward....See you Out there my friends

Wishing All mothers from human to fur a Happy Mother's Day! We Know that our job in many titles goes a lot farther than just 8 hours a day. In the long run and sometimes not always on the Up side, it's a Blessing. We learn to grow up with our children as well as hurt in their pains, learn to Learn all over again. See things through their eyes and Love unconditionally. Miles separate me from my daughter and her lovely family but I Will be wearing my Mom hat this weekend. Just finished it today along with another floral hat. Weather fluctuates here in Montana but flowers of any kind is a reminder that warm weather coming. Our Bozeman Rock and Mineral Show is this Sat. and Sun. at the Bozeman Fairgrounds. I am Not selling hats there, just volunteering and having fun! Check us out, silent auctions, garnet digging, jewelry, rocks and much more....Don't forget to let the Mom in your life know how much they are loved and if it's a fur one, you already get the kisses. Smile and enjoy your day...

When you had rain for a week and you sing Rain, Rain, go away, well you know what the rest is and it does!!! For a few, we had sunny weather and 70 ish temps!!! Walking around in t shirts and scandals and people manicuring their places. Accomplished a hat over Easter because of rain and one less on my list. I can't remember name of person for it, but is for the sheep run in Reeds point! If weather holds out, my next engagement will be at Legacy Trading here in Town, outside,May
4th. Methodist church also having their rummage, bake sale and lunch that day. Multiple places to see and wares. Think it's 9-2. Considering we are expecting Cold weather this weekend and Snow on Sunday, weather permitting for me! Can we sing Snow, and Rain go away!!?!! Have a merry day in what you do!!!

This tired gal wanted to Thank you for coming out to Garagarama and supporting the vendors. It is a lot of work for many and Heavy! Fortunately, my hats light but awkward. Thank goodness for dollies but my driving them could use some coordinating! Wearing my lit up Garagarama hat sure did pull in customer interactions. I have to tell you that I had to make sure to sit often to not overtire. In doing so, the Kid in me holding my money pouch and clapping my legs together and squishing bag, typical moving nerves, I hear music. Couldn't figure out where it was coming from? A guy in his 30's walking past and I ask if his phone ringing? Go to point to him with bag in my hand and I hear music and I look at him embarrass and say "Oh, it's me" and he is laughing so hard. Tells his girl and I open bag and in far corner is activated noise maker from a destuffed character. I hadn't used bag since Last year at Garagarama and I put it in there because I Thought I was BETTER in health to play!!!! Song?! I FEEL GOOD, nah nah nah nah nah... Nothing unusual for me. Definitely bigger Smile moment than norm. Again, Thanks for a great day and the Optimist group for putting it on.
