<p>This is a REALLY good idea.  My blocks were purchased from someone leaving millinery and there are several flanges and an oval mid size brim.  This will help me in creating the fabulous hats Spring deserves!</p> <p></p>

<p>Hello,</p> <p>I just became acquainted with the Hat Academy and have joined. I am so excited about the information available and the chance to learn hat making and millinery techniques from a master. I am considering purchasing the Bundle 2 because it has the hat block. It is asking me for the size I want in cm. Do I measure my head from the back to just above my ears and just above my eyebrows? Could someone tell me?</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Susan Poirier</p>

<p>Hi Carena, Yes, I'm in Chch.  Not much of anywhere in town survived to be honest.  The Hat shop was sold early - mid 2000's, and moved to High Street - yes, High Street became THE trendy stylish fashion street. Unfortunately the lady who purchased the store, sold up about  2009/2010 - actually, I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and brought the cast majority of her millinery supplies.  The lady's name escapes me, Karen? can see her face..  It was very sad to see it close,…</p>

Unfortunately the lady who purchased the store, sold up about  2009/2010 - actually, I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and brought the cast majority of her millinery supplies.  The lady's name escapes me, Karen? can see her face..  It was very sad to see it close, as the other Hat shop, "Hats on High", closed a few years earlier too.  The rents in High Street became astronomical.  The block I'm talking about is the one with the Globe Cafe in it, heading towards St Asaph St.  Alice in Video Land is about the only building left.(opposite McKenzie &amp; Willis)</p> <p>If you would like to see some images of how the city has feared, then and now, this site is excellent, but you might want to grab a hanky first: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CHCH.EQ.Photos?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/CHCH.EQ.Photos?fref=ts</a></p> <p>Perhaps the new city will have a wee shop just right for my hats... all in good time. </p> <p>x</p> tag:hatacademy.com,2013-05-28:6485913:Comment:58309 2013-05-28T08:52:04.810Z carena28 https://hatacademy.com/profile/carena28

Hi Roz, are you in Christchurch? Do you remember the Hat Shop in Victoria Street? Do you know if it survived the quake? !I left there in 1997. I can't wait to see what you create with this stunning block!
