labricoleuseThere are a couple of companies I've recently ordered from that I'd like to mention in here--Micro-Mark and We've Labels.
Micro-Mark is known as "the small tool specialists," and they cater to industries like miniature and model builders, dollhouse carpenters, jewelrymakers, as well as film/tv/theatre artisan shops. They sell a huge range of tools that are small-scale--everything from miniature tabletop drill presses to needle-files. I recently got a hand bender from them for a very reasonable price ($65).
We've Labels is, i believe, a cottage industry that i stumbled across in a websearch. I had been looking for somewhere to do some basic woven labels for me to put into the hat collection i'm doing this year--i wanted something around an inch wide, basic old-fashioned script font, that said "La Bricoleuse." They got them to me in a prompt fashion for a good price.
I should have tossed something in there for size reference, because i realize now looking at this image, they look kind of like those narrow 1/2" labels you can order for your home-sewing projects in the backs of knitting magazines. Which, nothing against those labels, but hat labels are usually larger than that--these measure about 1" x 3", which will be more apparent when i put one into, you know, an actual hat and photograph it.
Oh, and! I just got a note from How2Hats.com that that half-price e-book sale i mentioned a couple posts back ends on September 2nd; so, if you are interested in taking advantage of it, that's your window of opportunity...or, wait til next August! :)
