Another 26 caps completed since my last post of 50. This has been by far the busiest summer of making caps to date. It would seem that the 250th has generated increased interest in anything red, white or blue. The 150th anniversary of various Indian wars events, the upcoming Manassas event and various 4th of July celebrations have had me glued to the cutting table like never before. And thus I feel entitled to a short break, excited as people may be to get their caps. 12 caps shipped out this morning and so I am hoping there will be some degree of satisfaction during my absence.
Starting this afternoon I will be on a family trip until the end of the month. Please be patient as I will be out of the country until then. My grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago and another family member has had several visits to the ER for heart related issues over the same period and as a result we anticipate this trip to be something of a total separation and period for decompression.
Thank you for your understanding and for your interest in my work.
