Cheers!

This weekend The Little Hat Company was at two shows: one in North Conway and the other in Minnesoata. We are excited to be leaving our own backyard and venturing further to show our hats and introduce them to noggins all over the country. While today was beautiful and sunny with a touch of fall in the air, yesterday we sold mostly Kozy Kaps as faithful craft show followers made it out in the down pour rain and a solid 57 degree weather.

We are looking forward to taking part in more Craft Shows throughout New England this far and love to see pictures of where our lids are showing up in the world even if it is in our very own backyard.

If you would like to see more lids visit us online : The Little Hat Company.

Introducing our first "Green" Recycled Adult Bucket Lid - One of Kind

Bill Page, our co-founder's husband stopped by yesterday with a request. He wanted me to make him one of our bucket lids that he would be able to wear on his upcoming family vacation to Disney. Sue, GMom, Amy, Katherine, Sydney, and Harrison are all going to be sporting one of our bucket lids while visiting Disney, Wild Kingdom, MGM, and just hanging out at the pool. Bill is behind The Little Hat Company 100% and wanted to show his support. Bill is also hugely creative and wanted a one-of-a kind lid, the first ever if you will. I told him to pick out his fabric and when I dropped the kids off later that day I would sew his lid for him.

So after hours in the pool, we're having a New England heatwave, I received a call from Bill. He wanted to know if I could make a Bucket Lid for him from one of his old shirts that he wasn't wearing anymore.


Voila - our first "Green" Bucket Lid made from a shirt Bill was no longer wearing in his closet. He asked me to somehow incorporate the tag from his glory days. I also used one of his cotton Timberland T'shirts that had seen better days for the lining. It was new but oddly familiar and Bill loved it!!

If you have a shirt in your closet that you would like made into a bucket lid email the little hatters - friendlyperson@thelittlehatcompany.com . Tell us your size and style of lid you would like it made into and we'll send you the address to ship you article of clothing to and the expected date of transformation. We're very excited to start recycling your closet!!

Adventures With Abby - My new favorite blog & source of inspiration

Abby is a little girl who recently came into my life through a picture sent in of her wearing one of our beachcombers. I was excited because her mom had just happened to be someone I had grown up with and spent time with her and my other friend Kelly. The funny thing is she became life long friends with Vicky, one of my best friends from Spofford. It was fun to start connecting with everyone on Facebook and to see how they've changed. The last time that I have been face to face with most of my childhood friends was 9th grade and that's how I remember them.

Misty ordered a second hat for her daughter Abby and I was thrilled. I was thrilled that she liked them and I could tell by the pictures that Abby was a true hat girl. I loved it. So cute...then I noticed tonight that we are starting to get a little traffic from a blog I hadn't visited - Adventures with Abby. I just spent some time getting to know my childhood friend a little bit better and discovering what a truly gifted mom and person she has become. My heart was touched by the love, support, nurturing, laughter, and grace that was pouring out of this blog from Misty and her husband directed mostly towards their daughter but also their friends and family.

I admire how family is truly their number one priority in life. It is easy to become distracted in life by some of the things that just don't matter as much as loved ones. New businesses, ideas, hobbies, and things. We have so many things that it takes so much of our time keeping up with it all. (I wish I could keep up with it all) In just one night Abby and Misty have taught me that - don't feel guilty about the dishes sitting overnight, the pile of paperwork will not go anywhere and it will be done in time for quarterlies, the gardens are hardy and know how to survive even with the weeds if they must. When my little ones come to me with something to say or wanting to play...I am going to think of Abby's family and try very hard to not say automatically 'in a minute'. After all the three of my children are so much more valuable then any thing I might be working on at the time. My mom always reminds me that one day they will grow up and you will have plenty of things around you...but somehow you'll only be able to think about them.

My hat off to you Misty and Mr. Misty for bringing such a bright light into this world and making sure she shines for everyone to see. I know where I'm going when I need a quick dose of whats really important in life.

Lakeside, Elm Brook Park, Hopkinton New Hampshire- protected from the sun and dipping toes in the water

Ab from Keene New Hampshire has become our number one beachcomber wearing girl. Her mom and I were Keene High Blackbirds together until my parents moved me to Maine and landed at Traip Academy in Kittery, Maine.

It wasn't until Misty discovered The Little Hat Company that we've become reacquainted. Abs is dipping her toes in at Elm Brook Park, in Hopkinton New Hampshire at a birthday party. This is one party that I wish I had received an invite. It looks so relaxing!! Thanks for wearing our lids Abs!

If you would like to check out Abs beachcomber and our other fabrics and styles please visit our online store - The Little Hat Company.

Keeping the sun out of her face - Sun Hats for a special little girl

" I wanted to share a couple of pictures of my daughter in The Little hat Company's Beachcomber hat and Bucket lid. I was in town visiting family and I purchased one at the Strawberry Festival and one at the Wells Arts and Crafts show. I love the hats...Alexis does too!

Thanks for making a great quality, stylish hat. I also love that you're a local company. I look forward to many more purchases in the future."

Danielle Osterhaus


We love to receive emails with pictures from all over the world. The Little Hat Company is fortunate to have such great friends and we look forward to seeing how our sun hats and fleece winter lids come alive and take on their very own personality with each baby, toddler, child and now adult. One of our favorite things is when a group of people are in our tent at a show trying on different hats in a fury. We hang our full mirror low enough for children to check out how they look in one of our hats and it is cute watching the adults bend down to catch a glimpse and make a decision between styles and fabrics. Alexis sent us two pictures: one of her in our beachcomber lid and the other of her in our bucket lid.

Details Gifts, Wolfeboro NH - Beachcomber Baby Sun Hat Appears

Details Gifts is my new favorite store in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. We met Olivia and Robin at the Summer Tradition craft show last month and they are seen here in Details with one of our Beachcomber Lids.

I just went online to find out more about their store and was amazed at how they've put their store together. It makes you want to shop just being at their website. I hope you have time to visit their online store and if you live close enough take a ride over. It's less than an hour from Dover, New Hampshire. The town is beautiful and a great place to spend the day or your vacation at the lake!
