Monday October 6-8 Handmade Originals will be in Chicago with our snowman hats on, looking for the right shops to put them in. I have a feeling that this is going to be a great trip because how can you go wrong with one of the greatest hats in the world and the windy city! Then there is always the Cheesecake Factory!
See you there.
Handmade Originals actually was started way back in the day by my Grandmother and my Mother in the kitchen of their small house in Harrison Township, Michigan. It started with my Grandmother, Marie LaPlante making custom life jackets for the boating dogs of Boat Town USA and then lead to custom flags for the boats in the area. During my childhood my Mother made crafts and such with the skills she learned from my Grandma and we were able to do fun stuff like eat because she sewed and painted nearly 24hrs a day. Fast forward to Christmas in 2005 my Mom made my two sons very cute snowman hats she designed herself and at that moment when they put them on I knew we had to make them. We would always get comments on the hats like where did you get them or can I buy them from you when we were out and about. So asked my mother if she would make me one and in a few days she had it done and I started wearing the hat to see if I would get the same reaction and I did. So here we are!!!!!! I will add more to this story as it unfolds and to everyone that has helped us so far in making our dream come true I would like to say Thank You, enjoy the hats and keep smiling.
