Hatpins – The Return

Oh what’s that I see, in the air… over there? Do my eyes see what they think they are seeing? Well what do you know, it’s a hat shop! And not just any hat shop, why no… That is most decidedly Hatpins, returned to my delight, and I hope yours as well. It’s a new Hatpins, smaller and relaxed, or in the words of our favorite milliner, nice and casual. Me, I think I will call it cozy and delightful. Allow me a moment please, if you will, to draw your attention to the hatbox that sits upon the counter. You’ll certainly be wanting to give that a touch, for it contains a gift for you! And you! Yes, you too!

You’ll find some pretty hats for your shopping delight when you come to visit, and among them is the lovely Lise, who Miss Reghan has out for the Super Sales Weekend. A delightful bargain at 60L no doubt, a price that will last until Sunday eve. And should you find yourself wishing to accompany your hat with the same scarf Miss Reghan wears, then you will find that also for sale close by!

You know what I love? Besides this pretty new topper Jeanette that is… I love the resize scripting, because then my sweet little buddy can wear the hats too! I think we’re going to go out dancing tonight, though that may not be a good idea, short stuff here likes to step on my toes. Perhaps instead a nice night in. Oh I know! I can hang out in Hatpins and play with the gacha! Yes, you heard right, there’s a gacha! And it’s full of gorgeous watches. 75L a play, oh the fun! There’s a pretty hat in the Midnight Mania board as well. Yes, all the fun to be had at Hatpins, we hope to see you there!

Hatpins Closing – The Memories

Every once in a while our dear Miss Reghan likes to take me by surprise. Imagine coming home from vacation to find that *gasp* Hatpins is closing. Now, I could sit here and be sad as I write what will be one of my final Hatpins posts, but sad isn’t my way. So instead I’d like to celebrate the memories, like the time mother and I had to save all our hats from a sinking ship. Now THAT was a fun vacation, though a bit soggy methinks.

I’ve worn many hats through the years as I’ve blogged for Reghan, MANY MANY hats. I’ve jumped from ships in hats, hung from hoops in hats… I’ve worn hats with flowers and ribbons and antlers and steam and cats and gears and and and…

Then we have the wreaths, which I must admit have always held an extra special appeal to me. I love being surrounded by lovely blossoms, and I’ve even gotten the puppy and the kitten in on the act. At one point or another I have gotten my entire family hatted and/or wreathed up. Sharing the joy is the thing I love to do best! So today I share the joy of the memories, and perhaps in the next day or so I’ll make a few more before the shop is no more. I encourage you to celebrate your memories, and to gather up more for the making during the Hatpins Closing Sale. Everything is 60L, and anything that was less than that to start is marked down also. I THINK there are about 6 days left before the doors close for the last time. I wish you all a wonderful week and we’ll see you at Hatpins

Hatpins is Closing

To my dear customers, friends, and acquaintances.

After a run of over five years, it’s time for me to throw my hats into the wind and say good-bye to Hatpins. This has actually been a long time in coming, and I know that to some this will come as no surprise.

Thank you for your custom, your compliments, and for helping Hatpins become known as “the best hat shop on the grid”.

It’s been fun, but it’s time for me to put my attention and focus elsewhere. I knew I was going to do this (I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, actually), but I had to talk myself into letting the shop, and everything it stands for, go.

So the good news is that everything in the store is 60L.* Things that were less than 60L are marked down as well. The gatcha machine, for example, went from 25L a play to 5L.

Unused store credits and/or gift cards have no linden value, so it’s best to use them while you can. Unused credit and store cards can also be used at PixelCat Textures, but I will not be buying any back or issuing refunds.

Some things may find their way onto Marketplace, but they will be full price.

Hatpins is here.

With warm regards,
Miss Reghan Straaf.

* Everything is sold AS IS. For a charge of 25L per item, I will change the perms on your item to modify/copy, and put a better resize script in it. Please notecard and IM me with your purchase details (date, item), and I will get back to you. Thank you 🙂

Hatpins – My 60L Secret

Pssst, I’ve got a secret or two for you. Can you keep them? Well, of course you can keep them if you want them! Our dear Miss Reghan has a couple of lovely goodies for you this week in the My 60L Secret sale. First up Sarah, who I’m certain will be your best friend if you can keep all her secrets. As you might be able to tell from her appearance she’s got a bit of a thing for blueberries, which may well explain her delicious color, eh? She also holds an obsession for flowers, which she loves to display upon the brim of her straw boater form. She’s ever the lovely lass methinks.

And then there are the earrings. Mmmm, these speak so nicely to my ears, whispering the sweetest things to me. These Vintage Earrings feature hematite and quartz beads which are some of my favorite things, as well as knotwork and chains. Hematite is a wonderfully soothing stone. Both of these items will be found for the special 60L price starting as soon as Friday rolls into being, and ending on the last stroke of Monday eve. (That’s 12:01AM Friday – 11:59PM Monday for those who don’t speak Jeni-ese 😉 ) We’ll look forward to seeing you at Hatpins

Hatpins – My 60L Secret

Ready to try something a little bit different? Yes? Great! I am too, and so it would seem is Miss Reghan. So here I am ready to tell you about some special bargains, and you don’t have to wait until Friday night to find them! And if the weekend keeps you all tied up there’s no need to feel out of sorts, for the sale items will still be on sale through Monday. Ooooo yes, music to my ears, and hopefully yours as well. Now… About those ears! Our dear Miss Reghan is participating in My 60L Secret and the first of the two items you’ll find for sale is a lovely accessory, the What Wrought Earrings in jet. Delicate, gorgeous and with many scintillating curves, need I say more?

Then for your lovely head we have a hat that’s simply to die for. Though I would please ask you not to actually die, coffins and hats don’t play nicely together truly. Celeste is a vision of loveliness in the wonderful contrast of black and white. Her wide brim exudes feminine grace and the roses that adorn her crown, well who can resist such beauty? Best of all? She looks fantastic with the What Wrought earrings! I wish you all a lovely rest of your week, weekend and start of the following week! You’ve from the first stroke of Friday until the last ticking of the clock on Monday eve to get your hands on these items for the special prices. Take care, and we’ll see you at Hatpins.

Hatpins – Sixty Linden Weekend

Does your hat collection ever whisper to you? Sweet nothings like “Glorious flowers and a pretty straw brim would look splendid upon your fair head.”? I truly hope so, for I don’t want to be the only one the hats speak to! If you’re like me then you are in luck, for our dear Miss Reghan has two lovely offerings for your shopping pleasure in this weekend’s Sixty Linden Weekend Sale. And wouldn’t you know it, the first one is a delight with an abundance of sweet flowers and a straw brim. Floraleigh would make a welcome addition to any hat collection with her blossoms in cream, rose and lilac. A sweet lady simply ready to while away the hours perched atop your head as you go about your day.

Then as day fades into evening you can whirl off with Lady Kate who is bound to make the night a fun one. She’s an eccentric lady, this one is. A wide black brim adorned with ornate gold accents, she’s surely got an eye for style. Finished off with gold netting and black and red flowers and she’s ready to step out on the town, drawing admiring glances everywhere you go. Both of these hats are waiting to join your hat family, and you’ll find both for the special 60L price until Sunday eve. Have a lovely weekend and we’ll see you at Hatpins.

Hatpins – Sixty Linden Weekend

Ahhh, the weekend has arrived and with it is the Sixty Linden Weekend Sale. Shall we see what our dear Miss Reghan has in store for your shopping delight? Oh yes we shall! We have two variations on one of my favorite wreaths this weekend, the lovely Liadan. She’s fit for a princess, or even for your everyday ordinary lass. Would m’lady like to wear the Burgundy and White Roses? You’ll be sure to delight and enchant all the hearts in this beauty.

Or perhaps you would enjoy the striking beauty of the Black and White Roses. They certainly delighted young Dhaelis, who I let borrow my wreath in an attempt to soothe her frustration after the incident that shall be known as Pixeldent. (More on that episode over on PixelCat)

If you are anything like me you’ll wish to take them both home with you, for variety is such a wonderful thing to satisfy the everchanging whims of ladies of all ages! Both wreaths are available at the special 60L price until Sunday eve. I wish you all a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you at Hatpins.

Hatpins – Sixty Linden Weekend

Would you believe the weekend is here? A fabulous thing, isn’t it? Best of all the Sixty Linden Weekend sale is in full swing and our dear Miss Reghan has a couple of lovelies for your bargain shopping pleasure. Above you’ll see the Clarissa hat, being adorable with her straw, lace and ribbons. This little darling has apparently delighted my senses with her soft cheery colors, for I find myself mentally rewriting the Lemon Tree song to be Lemon Cream, hat so pretty and your ribbons are so sweet… Yeah, there’s a reason I never became a songwriter! I suppose you could say Clarissa makes my heart sing, eh?

And speaking of giving my heart happies, let me show you the second item you’ll find for 60L this weekend. The Moonstone and Silver earrings speak right to my heart, I’ve a special fondness for moonstone. Perhaps these pretty oval bits of shimmering beauty with delicate bead drops will find their way into yours as well! I know, you’re anxious to get to the shopping, so I’ll leave you for now with wishes for an enchanting weekend. We’ll see you at Hatpins.

Hatpins – Sixty Linden Weekend

Don’t get out of hand, but if she knew what she wanted she’d be walking down your street (like an egyptian) following her eternal flame. These earrings are everything I wanted to cure those hazy shades of winter. Make sure you get them in your room and they’ll set you free for your next manic monday.

When the lady smiles for another 45 miles you’ll be struck by a case of radar love. It’ll feel like you slipped into the twilight zone with your buddy joe. These earrings whisper “Hold me now” in a sound I never heard. Oh wait, that’s golden earring….

My thanks to the wonderful Nicolae Landar who clearly had plenty to say about these new earrings our dear Miss Reghan has out for the Sixty Linden Weekend sale. I’m sure these pretty accessories are bound to inspire and delight you as well. The sale runs until Sunday eve. A wonderful weekend to you all, and we’ll see you at Hatpins.

Hatpins – Sixty Linden Weekend

*peeks out from beneath her desk and waves a merry hello* I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. I fear I can’t come out of hiding just yet. You see, my neighbor is mowing and if he sees my pretty new hair wreath he might try to mow me too! I must protect Wynne and these scrumptious daisies, and the roses too! She’s not for mowing but I’d never be able to convince him. She’s special this week you see, for she is one of the two items our dear Miss Reghan has available for the Sixty Linden Weekend Sale.

And for those wishing for something to cover more of their head and protect them from the sun, perhaps Kate can make her way home with you. In a lovely goldleaf coloring she’s sure to nicely accentuate your wardrobe, don’t you think? Both of these lovelies are available for the special 60L price until Sunday eve. Have a lovely weekend and we’ll see you at Hatpins.
