Bamboo Broker Family

Hattie Mae Royer is turning 10 June 22nd! She is excitedly counting down. She is, at her core, a lover. Kind, thoughtful and giving. She is silly, playful and creative. She loves music and her friends. It is an honor to witness, play and guide her in this lifetime. Not a day goes by that I don’t see Andy Royer in her smile or tenderness.

We hope the world of bamboo and building/ crafting is just as magical and fulfilling as always.

Aloha and Mahalo for being apart of our path.

Aloha! Hattie Mae is almost 9!
We hope you are all healthy and fulfilled.

I have a rod builder looking to source cane. She said she is having a hard time…leads please. Peak bamboo? Or Angler’s Bamboo?

Also, some of you might already know this about me, I’m an artist and I’ve started hand painting hats. Wearable art!

One of the many ways I’ve been processing my transition out of the Bamboo Broker Family has been through painting fly fishing hats with bamboo infused in the design. These two are on cork, SnapBack trucker hats...I have other hat options.

I’m now taking orders for hand painted fly fishing hats. Design will vary and customized request are welcomed. Send me a message if interested.
$40 ea

*let me know if you have a place you love to fish and want me to incorporate it.

Coming soon with a variety of design options for the entire family:

Wow and wow! Hattie Mae is turning 4 on Saturday.

She was 4 months old when Andy surrendered his body back to the earth.

It was shortly after that a container arrived; Hattie and I became The Bamboo Broker Family.

Thank you for being a part of our journey; we are wrapping up this part of our life so that we can step more fully into new adventures to come.

We have a few more orders to fill and (WOW!) the Trout Grass Film to focus on..before calling it a wrap but as I was taking a pic of Hattie and I today, I thought of our very first day and wanted to share.

Happy Father’s Day to all the men who reflect love, pride, encouragement, accountability, acceptance, integrity and compassion to those who look to them.
