I guess it’s true that we bloggers can never imagine how we may impact some random reader. I came across this post when researching for info about Estancia. Thanks to your photos and information about the town we knew where to go and what to look for when we traveled there yesterday. That park in the center of town with the pond, the pool, the fountain, the library, etc. was absolutely beautiful and made us feel that this was a town that really cares about its people.

My family thanks you for taking the time to write this post. I have to admit that I am curious about the “long story” about why you love this town….

I’m looking for Amy Downs. I used to design and sew clothes and hats in Eugene, Oregon and knew her in the early 70’s. Did she get flooded out of Centralia and return to NYC? That is what I have heard from a mutual acquaintance. I’m overdue a trip back east.

The story about Sally, Amy and me in New Mexico is very charming.

I just bought an Amy Downs hat from The Hat Shop in SoHo. I love the hat so much that I decide to google her, I’m a new fan. It was custom made (because I have a big head) so I know Amy is still making hats. I love the shop, ask for Linda. 8/25/07

Hi,
You are a lucky woman to have met Amy Downs. It was heartbreaking to many of us when she left the Lower East Side.
I feel really fortunate to own about a dozen of her designs from the little shop on Ludlow. And I’m very happy to see her with that big smile.
If you do see Amy again tell her her fans still wave at each other across streets when we spy a fellow collector. The we make sad weeping faces. This is really true ya know.
Thanks for posting the Amy update.

I’m a huge fan of Amy’s hats but now that’s she’s left NYC I don’t know how to feed my addiction. And I really miss her colorful personality around the nabe. Can someone give me her new contact info? Thanks.

Kathleen, Thanks for mentioning me. I still haven’t gotten over to introduce myself to Sally and she only lives a mile from me! But in fairness to me…. I discovered I have an allergy to seafood. I’ll spare you the details. Thank you for the book. Its in the librarys collection. Now your truly famous!
