Been a long time since I have posted.
First of all, as you can see from the title, well, I had an HJ Poet from Todd's Costumes that I first purchased around 2005? One of my FAVORITE hats, however, I found a TINY moth bite in it and I went nuts. After searching for help online and anywhere, I should have just left it alone. Maybe sandpapered it a little, but I just went overboard and destroyed about a 2" tear in the felt along with melting part of the ribbon while trying to iron in the felt that I sanded and scraped off.
This is when I panicked, but after reading about Michelle at Herbert Johnson, how she took control, and was the "Go-To Person", I decided, I am going to the source. And you guys were right. She is the sweetest person and so helpful in getting my HJ Poet in Rabbit, dark sable, and did an amazing job! I ordered it in October and it arrived a few weeks ago.
Sent her a "Thank You Email" and could not be happier. (When that box arrived I went nuts).
Anyhoo, just wanted to say "Hello"... I HATE taking photos of myself so this is what you get as far as a smile. Thank you for your time).
Sincerely,
Michael B

Now that is more like it... Having trouble getting used to Flickr again.

Sorry, had to add this display as well!
I believe that this post should be in in "The Herbert Johnson Hall of Fame - A Display Thread", however I have no idea how to move it. Feel free moderators to move it yourself, if you wish.
Take care!
