Hats for sale

I made dozens of these cloche-style hats last fall

in anticipation of the holiday craft show season.

These are some of the ones I have left, and

since I am not doing too many shows this year,

I have just listed them in my Etsy shop.

Facebook favorites

I am a fan of about 1,000 pages on Facebook,

many of them sellers of handmade items.

Some shops in my News Feed really stand out for me --

quality items, great photographs and friendly folks.

These crafters were the one who caught my eye today.

Here are my favorites of theirs in autumnal hues.
