Hat Talisman...maybe not

Greetings,

The tale of the hat talisman continues....

Yesterday I went grocery shopping and ran a few errands, yes on a Saturday, not usually a great plan for this agoraphobic girl. Why, simply every employed human is also doing their grocery shopping and other assorted errands.

Lets face it, I don't do well in large groups of people, hell I don't do particularly good outside of the house period. I am wearing my owl hat, my talisman, my little piece of Sarah from Arizona, and it starts. I am working my way up the frozen vegetable isle and some one comes up to me,
 "Did you make that hat?"
"No, my friend Sarah made it."
"It is really cute."
"Thank you, I really like it too."

This is in  my first isle. This is how the shopping continues. I kind of feel like I am in a parade. Who knew one little crocheted owl hat could make everyone so sociable.

Cut to the checkout, the check out line is a really tricky place for me, this is where I end up doing my cut and run if I have it, but I have looked for all of these friggen coupon items. I will deal with my chest pounding. This woman in the next line over keeps looking at me. It is freaking me out. It doesn't even occur to me it is the hat. But when she starts discussing the hat with the cashier and the both start looking at me, well okay, naturally it is the hat. From the next line over,
"Did you make that? It is an owl right?"
"Thank you, yes it is an owl."
"It is really cute."
"Thank you."....

I am going to be ordering a bracelet this week. (Feel free to order your own owl hat from Sarah's Gypsy Wagon on Etsy!)

Love and Light!
