Well I ruined them both by wearing them in a pool. When I tried to clean them, they are all stained. Do you have any idea how I can get them cleaned? It never dawned on me that I would not be able to replace them. I am devastated. I have one blue hat left. But I love my beige. Can you recommend anything to remove the water stains from my beige silk hats? Thank you.bluesp1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04610226672402639156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951284171589539113.post-50863209844274288302022-08-18T07:34:49.248-07:002022-08-18T07:34:49.248-07:00I knew her very well both through the business and...I knew her very well both through the business and personally.

I wore it to church the next day, and I must confess, I could not concentrate on the sermon, for waiting for it to be over, so I could go purchase a second hat. I actually ended up buying four that weekend. Every spring for the next few years, I anxiously waited for the street fair, so I could once again peruse the beautiful hats. One particular season, it was so windy, and the vendors were having a terrible time with their booths, trying to keep them from blowing away. The young man who was always the one I bought from, left me in charge so he could go find things to stabalize the canvas booth! I always purchased a minimum of two hats, usually three, and have a total of 13. I have also purchased several Jax Hatz from the Tempe street fair. In 2002, I moved from AZ. I love all my hats, and wear them. I probably have 3-5 hats that go with any one dress. I change the looks with different scarves, and accessories, such as pins, feathers, flowers, etc. I have searched for Wendy Carrington off and on for several years through the internet, and always wondered why I never heard any more about her or her beautiful hats. Now i know, and though I never met her personally, I feel like I lost a good friend. Her hats are magical, and always give me a feeling that is hard to put into words. Even just looking at them , even when I don't have one on, gives me a happy feeling. Thank you again. for sharing this lovely read.Camelgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509817491783322421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951284171589539113.post-7294956374738894172020-01-08T17:13:23.305-08:002020-01-08T17:13:23.305-08:00I want to say thank you for reading this I love ha...I want to say thank you for reading this I love hats and thrifting and vintage and found this amazing hat at ARC thrift store that has to be brand new and when googling Wendy Carrington came up with nothing but this and her obitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253295068919427701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951284171589539113.post-67124332364054713452019-11-19T18:38:48.728-08:002019-11-19T18:38:48.728-08:00Thank you so much Kat for your note here.

I bought 2 hats from her about 20 years ago at the Newport (Rhode Island) Folk Festival where she had a booth. Both are summery hats with brims. One white with a lacy trim and the other red with a beautiful hat pin. I am so sorry to hear of her passing! The first google search items I found showed me she had a hat store Hattitude, right nearby me in NYC. How excited I was. Then I saw her obituary. And am so saddened. Her hats have brought me a lot of joy over the years. Although now they are a little worse for wear, still beloved (and used)! Does anyone know of another hat maker of her caliber? I found a hat store I loved in Georgetown (Wash DC area), but the last time I went by it was closed. Thank you Miss O, and thank you to Wendy!

I have six of Wendy's hats both spring and fall Sugarloaf finds from over ten years ago. I was even stopped at a street fair in my new state and asked if I was wearing a Wendy Carrinton hat once! Visiting her stall was a yearly ritual for me in the late nineties...she was a lovely person and a true artist.

I was wearing my linen hat that I had purchased 20 years ago in Vermont from Wendy and wanted to see if I could buy another one as this one is starting to show its age since I wear it constantly! I too was absolutely shocked and said oh my when I saw the paid obituary for her. Then I found this and I so appreciated it it helped me grieve for a woman who I met briefly and bought two hats from twenty years ago! I'm thankful for her artistry and the beautiful hats that have bedecked my head for all these years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132930046143388943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951284171589539113.post-19559060409643435552016-02-17T07:22:06.219-08:002016-02-17T07:22:06.219-08:00Thank you so much for your comment, Linda!

I wear it every winter. I always get compliments on it. It is so me! I happened to buy 2 more from the Internet about 2 years ago. They look brand new! I guard them closely. I never take a hat off while I am out and about. I get too many compliments and am afraid they might be taken. Great compliment to her skill and artistic eye. Winterfair in Columbus, Ohio. She pulled me into her booth saying,"I have a hat for you!" She was right! I'm putting them in my will.

I found out about her because I recently found one of her beautiful hats at Goodwill. I gave it to my sister tonight for her birthday and she absolutely loves it! We then noticed the original price tag in it and that it had been handmade in the USA. I looked up "Hattitude NYC" online hoping to find out more. I am sad to know that Wendy passed away and am grateful to have found one of her stunning hats! Ours is a delicate white lace wide brim hat and truly is a work of art!
