<p>Hello Elaine....how nice of you to ask.</p>
<p>Congrats on your 50th.c</p>

<p> My husband of 59 years encouraged me to switch from sewing crafts to designing and sewing rag dolls (at 50 years old) then on to sculpting clay dolls,then on to making mannequin heads & designing a web page <a href="http://www.crunkleton.com" target="_blank">www.crunkleton.com</a>.</p>
<p>He not only encouraged me, he gave me space to grow... and since our four children were now grown.... grow I did. </p>
<p>As I look back...I wonder about how this all came about for me. I decided that "I was too dumb to know I could not do something". Actually, I know I wasn't dumb at all, but that's the way I like to put it with a smile.</p>
<p>Now to you and your husband's great hat box. I love the clever way he worked the scallop edge around the box and anchored the scallops with studs. It is really quite beautiful.</p>
<p>You are a cute couple....very complete. </p>
<p>I am a collector of at least 60 vintage hats...and since I am a mannequin head maker...they are each on a head. Thanks much for Hat Academy. I am almost 83 and if I had it to do over, I would be a milliner.</p> BEAUTIFUL story Elaine.
