The Hat in the Cat

December 5 2007 saw the arrival of a newcomer to Newburgh High Street. Number 60a, formerly the home of a cat rescue charity shop, was transformed by the wiles of Jeanette Sendler and FAC member Alison Mountain into a unique destination for arts and crafts aficionados.

After an eventful first year, Jeanette and Alison decided to expand the operation and on 8th November 2008 opened a new shop at 50 George Street Perth. Regretfully, this meant that the Newburgh shop had to close, as there was too much time pressure from other commitments to run both establishments.

It wasn't long before Jeanette and Alison were on the move again, and May 2009 has seen them set up in larger premises in the Bridgend area of Perth, where they will be able to run workshops as well as make and sell their unique range of hand made products. A new Hat in the Cat website is under construction, and in due course it will be possible to make purchases online.

Thanks to everyone who supported us and we hope to see you soon in Perth.
