My 2024 holiday craft market season culminated at the Dunbar Community Centre in Vancouver. It was well attended and the shoppers were the discerning kind who appreciated handmade goods. Along with them, I admired the imagination, creativity and diversity of the other artisans present.
I want to take this opportunity to thank a few exceptional people who have supported me this year. You might recognize my models, Coco and Elaine. Terry works in the background reviewing and editing each blog post before it gets published. Coco, Elaine and Terry have also helped me out at markets. Steve and Russel have made guest appearances on my blog to show that men can wear Hats by Tracy J too. Thanks also to Marion who, not only sells my hats at her women’s clothing boutique, tenth&proper, but also shares nuggets of retail knowledge with me.


I enjoy meeting new people as they try on my hats, but I especially like seeing loyal customers return. Fitting them with a new style is one of my delights. Happy Holidays to you all!
