Upon first appearance one could be mistaken for thinking that Horseshoe Crescent was an ordinary place to live. After all, it had ordinary looking houses and ordinary looking shops, but the people who lived here thought it to be a simply marvelous place.

Auntie Marge lived above her shop at number one Horseshoe Crescent, with her husband Bob, and Tatty their little terrier dog.

She was always telling people, “We are very lucky to live in a place shaped like a horseshoe, because after all everyone knows that horseshoes are lucky!”

Auntie Marge was a bit of a character, with wild colored hair which changed color frequently. Today her hair was bright pink, like bubblegum.

Auntie Marge loved to sew, and her days were spent working in her shop creating wonderful clothes for her customers to wear. She was also a milliner, which is a person who makes hats. Auntie Marge did not make just any old hats though; her hats were works of art to fit any occasion. People came from all over town to visit her shop, eager to buy her unique designs.

Auntie Marge thought that the crazier the hat looked, the better it was, and her outlandish ideas had people wearing hats topped with fruit and flowers, castles with moats, butterflies and birds, pirates and ocean creatures.
