I was thrilled beyond words when Laura Kiniry sent me a Facebook message last August asking if she could interview me for a BIG name publication. Laura told me to keep it on the 'low down' after she told me it was Oprah Magazine, which I promised I would. The strangest thing was that I had kept my goals from 3 years ago, and one of them was 'Get into Oprah Magazine'. Wow. That's some synchronicity!
I even kept the secret from my very own mother, who had told me at one time that she had a subscription (I memorize details). I wanted to surprise her. And was she ever surprised! She called me this past Sunday, telling me that she wanted to frame it in her home for visitors to see. That is the ultimate compliment. Right away, I walked over to the corner drugstore to see if it was already on the news stands, and there it was! I'm so honored. Can you imagine? It has a 2.5 million circulation. Call me space cadet, but I had no idea magazines came out 3 weeks before the Month they're posted for. Thank goodness my friend Ce Ce told me this a week ago after a relaxing day at Spa Castle, a Korean spa.
Laura had first written about me for a magazine in an article entitled 'Mad Hatters' in December of 2009. I even had the thrill of going to the Hearst Tower to deliver hats to the offices of Oprah Magazine for their staff photographer to shoot.
Here is the article in O, The Oprah Magazine March issue on page 44, hurry now and rush to your local news stand, drug store, even Whole Foods! I hope to meet her someday. I really admire her. I'm going to get her bio from the library this weekend!
And check out my Etsy online store, I'm adding new hats to it everyday, especially new spring/summer hats! A new website is in the works....stay tuned!
Till next time, my lovelies!

Thank you so much, Lynne, for being an admirer and true believer in me!
ReplyDeleteJasmin, I just read the article about your amazing talent of hat-making, in Oprah - March 2013. I live in New Orleans and so wish you were in my area. I love hats! Yours are beautiful. Any chance you might take your hat courses on the road? New Orleans is a very inspirational city and we are hat crazy here!
