Hat Season is Here!



The sky might be grey, but ladies are already thinking spring!

I just started taking custom orders for the Kentucky Derby this week and it's so inspiring to know that there are gals out there who are excited about warmer weather, fewer layers and looking fabulous in their hats!

If you have an event coming up, contact me for an appointment, bring what you are going to wear and I will create your hat with color, texture, scale, fabric weight, and the event in mind.

With 2-3 weeks turn around time, you'll be able to pick up your hat and extra fabric swatches with plenty of time to shop for shoes, bags, wraps, accessories...

Please contact me for an appointment today at jenmcgowan@msn.com or by telephone at 610.254.0220...and tell your friends! The more, the merrier!
