I would like to take this as an opportunity to thank you for the beautiful hat! I absolutely love it - the color, the feel, the quality is all so high. And it just means so much more to know the maker who created it. I have fine hair that gets greasy quickly, and this hat is a SAVIOR. I wear it in all seasons! Thank you again, it is beautiful and means so much to me.

Thank you for making such a beautiful hat. I'm not much of a hat girl but instantly fell in love and can't keep it off my head. I have gotten a lot of compliments in the short time I have owned it.

Hey Auma,
So, I buy this hat. At first I bought it because I love hats and this one was rather cute. On the way to the counter at Nordstrom's I noticed all the tags and branding and think to myself, this is a lot of fanciness of a knit hat. Then there it was, a hand written name on the inside and an opportunity to make some acquaintance with the person responsible for its beauty. That gave me goosebumps. What a wonderful idea. Not only is this hat the vehicle to change the life of the person who made it. It's also a vehicle to introduce me to the life of a person across the world making beautiful things I take for granted. This purchase inspired me and I pray your life is positively affected by the graciousness of your consumers.
