Hey there, I’m Abbe!

A Baltimore native that married a Baton Rouge boy, I fell in love with New Orleans in 2018 when we moved here for my husband’s work.

It probably sounds silly, but I truly feel like I’ve always been made to live here. New Orleans fits so perfectly with who and how I am! I’m grateful to call this weird, wonderful place home and to find so many like-minded folks around town.

I’ve been crafting all my life, and while various mediums have had their moment in my life, headpieces have been a staple.

A good headpiece truly completes any outfit! They’re basically an essential here in New Orleans. The fact that folks entrust me with such a pivotal part of their look for important events is an absolute honor and something I will never take for granted. I love being a part of that journey and then seeing how my piece fits into the final look when it comes together (always send me pics if you’re willing!).

Creating bespoke, inventive headpieces is an amazing creative outlet and fun challenge for me! So bring me your wacky ideas and we’ll work together to make them come to life!! I can work within most price points, and knowing your budget is immensely helpful in developing our plan together.

Whether you need one amazing piece for a special event or a bulk order so you and your krewe look fabulous, I got you!

I also LOVE teaching classes! A small group of friends or a big crowd at a bar, classes are a great opportunity to teach some new techniques and build confidence in your existing skills. Crafting is for everyone! If you don’t know where to start or want to up your game, let’s chat about a class.
