Boutique owner is wearing and making a number of hatsBy Christine LeeCleveland.com

Busy Broad Boutique is located at 10433 Clifton Blvd. in Cleveland. Its mantra is “For Women Who Wear Many Hats,” and how fitting, because owner Marta Glazen does indeed wear many hats, given her skill as a milliner.

Her hats are intricately made, and it gives her great pride to offer them reasonably priced. The hats offered under the Busy Broad label start at $35 and go up to $120. Her couture lines of handmade hats begin at $120 and go up, depending on the material used.

Glazen opened her first millinery shop in downtown Cleveland in 1996. After years of steady interest in her creations, she moved to the space on Clifton, in a neighborhood she loves.

Besides the hats, nicely garnishing the room, my eye spied many other fabulous treasures priced right in this lovely little space. A costume pearl handmade ring was only $5. A tapestry skirt was in the $20 range, and a vintage purse was in the $30 range.

The boutique offers two sides. One side houses the shop and the other is a tea room.
