Know what a hat trick is?
In Canada, when people talk about hat tricks, they're usually talking hockey and referring to
something done three times, like scoring three goals in a row. Elsewhere, hat tricks might refer
to a magician pulling something from a hat. At Island Rain Hats, a hat trick is producing rain hats
that don't look like rain hats but keep you dry and happy all the same! If you don't have one yet,
quit procrastinating. No time like the present to give yourself a gift. Pack up your rain hat and
take it with you wherever you go. Order using Visa, MasterCard or American Express on our secure shopping cart.
London bound this winter?
Forget about the weather, take your Island Rain Hat and wander the streets of Jolly Ol'. While you're there,
visit Hat Works in Cheshire, home to a museum, Internet café, and shop.
The museum features all the tools and machinery once used in the manufacturing of hats. You'll
see hat blocks, factory floor, fabric samples, milliner's office, display room, patterns, and a
hat-book library.
Hat Works is located in Wellington Mill, which you'll see from a great distance, as it has a
200-foot chimney that doubles as signage. Here's the address: Wellington Mill, Wellington Road South,
Stockport, Cheshire SK3 0EU. Check their website for news of
upcoming events. Hey, if you go, send us an E and tell us all about it!
Apparently every rain cloud has a silver lining
Another city that's no stranger to rain is Portland, Oregon. And that's where Alyce Cornyn-Selby - a woman with a great
philosophy "so what? now what?" turned her 100-year-old house into a hat museum. View her short bio
on YouTube.

Journeying outside the box
When you get tired of traveling around this virtual world, hop in a boat, plane, train, or car,
