August Phoenix Mercantile

I am a self taught textile artist, history geek, once upon a time storyteller and occasional travel blogger. I have retired from hatmaking (for the most part) and now concentrate on crafting historically inspired clothing from second hand textiles.  I'm also writing a retrospect of my 45+ years of hatmaking, as well as a personal memoir in the historical fiction genre. See more of my current interests on my other channel at @heatherdaveno.
