I got an AMAZING Secret Santa! I’m an admittedly very difficult and strange person to shop for, but they totally spoiled me and got me stuff that I love!

I got a pair of mini pink flamingos, a bottle of absinthe fragrance oil, AND a mini anatomical model!

I’m an amateur, unconventional milliner (hat-maker) and when I love something I turn it into a hat so I can bring it with me wherever I go.

I immediately turned one of the flamingos into a trailer park hat since one of my favorite films is John Water’s “Pink Flamingos”. It’s the perfect size for my hat, and I couldn’t be happier with how campy and kitschy it is.

I mentioned to my SS that I spend a lot of time volunteering at a hospital, which can be a bit difficult at times for me since I have to deal with a lot of unpleasant scents. They got me a large 4 oz bottle of Nature’s Note Absinthe (Wormwood) fragrance oil, which is my favorite scent! No pic of it for now, since I left it at the hospital.

I’m known for wearing my absinthe hand hat around town. I also occasionally make scented hats and I plan on using it to make my absinthe hats absinthe scented.

Despite being a milliner, my passion is anatomy and helping people, I plan to go into medicine. My SS got me an awesome anatomical model! It’ll definitely help me learn anatomy, plus it’s so adorable! You can remove all the little organs and it even has a removable brain and skull. I’ll also be able to make molds of some of the organs and duplicate them for my upcoming line of anatomy themed hats.

Thank you so much Secret Santa, you’re the best!
