Immediately I contacted her and she worked with me over a lot of emails to make me the lovliest little hat ever! I've worn it to several race meetings and I just love it. So amazing ... she lives in Chicago and I live in Julia Creek (well 100km to the north, but that's our nearest town) and I have this beautiful hat as a result of our online work...

| my very own original by Sonia - gorgeous huh??? |
Here is more about Sonia in her words ...
Graceful Butterfly Hat Design evolved from my passion for collecting lovely items from another place in time. Each hat has a story to tell...a journey all it's own...its graceful metamorphosis. Like a caterpillar coming out of it's cocoon...spreading it's wings for the first time...waiting for its next flight to begin...

| This beauty is one of 8 hats sold to Opera Australia for their production of La Boheme in 2011 - so beautiful... |
I have been delightfully inspired by the past to design one-of-a-kind original hats...created with the vintage elements I have collected over the years. I call my hat designs...Nouveau Vintage....new hats with vintage style...new hats with new lives. Each hat is uniquely original in it's design. I also offer custom design work for my customers that need the perfect hat to wear for that special occasion...made especially for you.
Sonia also won the 2012 Hatty Award from Hat Life - what a deserved achievement.
