I’ve been a Wallingford resident for 24 years and have a millinery studio sale every year.  My annual sale is this coming weekend … please drop by and say hello.  Friday Dec. 10th from 5pm – 9pm and Saturday the 11th from noon until 5pm.  3711 Carr Place N.

You’re probably smarter than we are, so you didn’t have to look up “milliner”, but we did: she makes hats. We always thought that’s what a haberdasher did, but apparently use of the term haberdasher to refer to a hat maker is archaic. Now, it simply refers to a dealer in men’s clothes in general. Who knew?

Anywoo, have a dash over to Carr Place this weekend, mill about with your neighbors and while they don Anne’s hats. She’s got a web site if you want to take a sneak peak.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
