“In Michigan, winters can seem very long. This hat was made for wearing to the woods to gather sap for making maple syrup, shoveling the heavy snow of early spring, all the while reminding the wearer that spring will come. With more sunlight come pussy willows then the flowers of spring. The cycle of life begins again.” ~Joan
