My husbans aunt (95) and mother (93) both passed away and I'm going through boxes and boxes of hats. Trying to get an idea how to list them and prices. I've found help so far on your site. 2 down 20 or so to go. Any advice - will accept!

Madame Babette, What a world you have opened to those of us who value dignity, refinement, and graceful couture. What a pleasure to have such a wonderful site to visit for information, education, and availability for purchase...! Your site is absolutely fantastic... Congratulations....!

I am wildly, insanely in love with your website and hats and am saving my money to purchase one of these masterpieces.

I am a student of French Room millinery and found your site to be fabulous!

You Class was awsome and I learned alot, Thanks

I took your hat class at costume college and loved it! Now I'm checking out your site to get more information and inspiration!

I could get lost looking at this website quite happily! I'm studying millinery & just treated myself to the vintage women's fedora... it stole my heart! My collection has begun... :-)

This is great! I was raised to love hat's by my mother & Grandmother. Who also loved chocolate! But please tell us what face shape looks best in what hat! Also what about hat boxes. I had over a dozen. Down to Samsonite leather ones now.

I love your site and am interested in hats and antique textiles. I'm contemplating using antique textiles to make pillows and have plans for a boutique. Romance is inherent in your product offerings making your site very special.

i love your site, madame Babette, i love the idea of millinery, and parlors and salons, I think i may have been a milliner in a past life, thanks for the information

Beautiful website. I am seeking French antique millinery trims and will come back for a visit. I wish I could see one of your shows! Merci..

I am into hats also. I just started a new series of acrylic paintings called Hats! I recently had two displays at fashion shows.

Your fashion show on Saturday was lovely! Merci beaucoup!

I am the Chairman of The Mannequins - We would love to have you for a program in early spring. We have a hat luncheon scheduled for spring 2012. Thank you

I have a guest house on my property 1200 sq ft which is being renovated, and it was always my intention to use it as a boutique millinery parlor. I have always had my clients served with tea and crumpets (cake) And now that I've seen your parlor pictures, I am even more persuaded to follow my dream!!!!

Hi Barbara, I just received my hats and they are beautiful and in great condition! I love the way you wrapped them, so pretty I thought I was getting a gift from Paris! A big hug,and I can't wait to see more of your gems! Merci Madame!

Oh SWOON! What a lovely site! I am a milliner and collector myself... I get especially giddy about Bes-Ben, Schiaparelli, and doll/tilt hats. Excited to see more! Bisous!

Your site is lovely and although I can't really afford the Edwardian straw hat that has never been worn for $585 I can still appreciate it and drool over it (but not too close I promise), and to learn about an art form that is so fabulous! Keep up the great work! Hugs from New Hampshire USA, Beth

Incredible! This is an awesome, totally authentic site, so nice to see quality products, keep up the good work.

I am a hat maker and lover of vintage hats especially of the 1930s-1960s.

I've collected hats for many years, but my favorites are my "oldy-goldies". I also collect antique clothing, and found your lovely add in my 'Teatime' magazine issue that I was enjoying. Who knew that all of the years of collecting all of these hats would become not only a pleasure, but because of lupus thinning my hair, a real necessity!

I saw your ad in Romantic Homes... I have one room devoted to my Victorian passion... it's MY playroom. My Grand Children think Ii am silly, but they sure have fun with me in :The Talking Room" as they have named it.

Impressive, museum quality hats, I cannot wait for more to come. Merci!

Saw your ad in Victoria. I'm a hat lady, too! How nice to discover I'm not the only one who wears hats to church on Sunday.

I love everything.

I have collected hats since I was just a little girl. My favorite is early 1900's.

I am just now getting back to wearing hats. I do most Sundays. I need ideas, updates, and resources. Can't wait to see more. EXCITED ABOUT YOU!!

Hat collector, hat restorer. Wear a hat everyday.

Just Beautiful Barb!

Fantastic, Superb, Brilliant need I say more!

I discovered your ad in one of the Victorian Magazines and I loved it at first site. I collect hats, purses and many other antiques. I also wear the hats to church every Sunday. This is AWESOME!

So excited to see someone with the same passions as myself! Anxious to have found this site!

Hi Barbara, I'm one of Dwayne's comedy buddies from back in the day. He may have told you that I collect Victorian and Edwardian (wearable) clothing...what a crazy coincidence, huh? Really looking forward to shopping on your site soon. Best, S

Can't wait to see your offerings!

This is a great web site!

Always loved & collected hats. I'm Queen of a Red Hat Society chapter so always have to have big fancy (I go for victorian style). I purchas and have to embellish which I love to do! I just know I was born in the wrong time. I used to own and manufacture Victorian Lampshades. Does that tell you anything! Just love your site....will visit often. Wish you were closer. Trunk show would be great here!

Barbara, I just love your new site! Can't wait for additional musings of the millinery parlor. Vera

Absolutely beautiful site!
