Transcript

00:00I'm inside the warehouse of Happy Hats for Kids in Hospitals.

00:13That's so cute. Look at that face.

00:16Where one woman years ago sprung into action after great loss and heartbreak.

00:20She did a spectacular job.

00:24Now what this extraordinary hat designer doesn't know.

00:26Do we look silly or what?

00:28Is her loving husband has nominated her for a much deserved surprise celebration.

00:34Surprise!

00:36Oh my gosh!

00:37Recognizing her lifetime of service and bringing smiles back to hospitalized kids faces.

00:43Does it match my outfit?

00:44Sure does.

00:45So I hope you'll join me as we honor and celebrate our wonderful hero, Sherry.

00:53My name is Lacey Chabert and this is my mission.

00:55I find unsung heroes doing amazing work in their communities and neighborhoods.

01:05It's time for them to shine.

01:09We're working with family, friends and top party planners, Marissa Lehner and Lisa Friedman.

01:15Job well done.

01:16Yay!

01:17Well done, ladies.

01:18We only have three days to create epic parties for our heroes.

01:21Surprise!

01:22Surprise!

01:23Surprise!

01:24Surprise!

01:25Surprise!

01:26Surprise!

01:27Surprise!

01:28Now let's get ready to celebrate.

01:33Hi, Lacey.

01:43Hi, good morning.

01:44Good morning.

01:45How are you?

01:46Hello.

01:46Good, how are you?

01:47I'm good.

01:48I'm over here daydreaming about my daughter's birthday party.

01:51We're in full-on planning mode.

01:52Oh, when is Julia's party?

01:53I'm definitely going to need to pick your brains.

01:55Yeah.

01:56It's in a week.

01:57Okay.

01:57And we always do a theme.

01:59And so when we had a magical mermaid, unicorn dream, she names all of them.

02:04I love that.

02:05Have I ever told you guys that when people ask me in interviews, if I wasn't an actress,

02:08what would I be?

02:09I always say an event planner.

02:10Oh, I love that.

02:11That is my dream job.

02:12So getting to be here with you and spend all this time together and see how you really

02:16come up with the ideas and bring it to life.

02:19Like, I just love it.

02:20You're making a splash.

02:21We'll keep brainstorming.

02:22Okay.

02:23Thank you so much for the help.

02:24I really appreciate it.

02:24Of course.

02:25Well, today, the real party that we're going to be planning is for a very, very special

02:31person doing some very important things.

02:32So I'm excited to show you the video.

02:34Okay.

02:37My name is Sherri Wallstein.

02:40I am the founder and the executive director, and of course, the number one creator of Happy

02:47Hats for Kids in Hospitals.

02:49Our organization has provided gift packages of hats and books and crayons to more than 1.3 million

03:01children throughout the nation and beyond.

03:06Hi, my name is Larry Wallstein, and I am nominating Sherri because our whole life is dedicated to Happy Hats 24-7.

03:18He's always thinking of ways to give some joy to these children.

03:22That's our main goal, to make children happy.

03:26Sherri has dedicated the past 33 years to Happy Hats.

03:32This is her life.

03:33She is the ambassador of bringing smiles to kids in hospitals.

03:38I started Happy Hats in memory of my brother, Michael, who died of cancer.

03:49And I just wanted to do something to bring some happiness to families and their sick children.

03:58Not only with cancer, but with all different critical illnesses.

04:04I was a hat designer, and I wanted to do something with my talent.

04:10And so I created a collection of Happy Hats.

04:15And then we took them to a children's hospital.

04:18The kids went crazy with these hats.

04:28Those hats are going to very vulnerable children that are fighting cancer,

04:36and you don't know if they're going to come out of it or not.

04:40Every time they're handing them out, a child is going to smile.

04:43They're going to have fun getting this gift,

04:45and it'll make them forget what they're going through for a little bit.

04:49When Sherry goes to the hospital, all the people on the floor, both of the doctors,

04:59the nurses, wear all these hats, and everybody gets in the mood.

05:03And it brings and lifts the spirits and happiness for everybody.

05:08The more joy she can spread, the happier these children can be, the happier she is.

05:13Do we look silly or what?

05:15I've had a lot of losses in my life, but through those losses,

05:23I've turned them into happy hats, happy smiles, happy children, happy families.

05:32I mean, there's nothing better than that.

05:35What a lovely woman, taking her talents, literally the use of her own hands,

05:39making these hats and brightening kids' days, which, you know, as a parent,

05:44that must be the absolute hardest time of your life to see your child sick.

05:47And I know you would do anything to brighten their day.

05:50And in swoops this woman who, like you said, just giving them a hat and just

05:54brightening their day for a few minutes or a few hours, it's so touching and it's so valuable.

05:58With the smile on their face.

05:58It does.

05:59She can't cure them, but she can certainly give them a smile.

06:02Yeah, I think she's awesome.

06:04And I just can't wait to celebrate her and she deserves to be celebrated.

06:07So I made an appointment with Larry at Happy Hats Warehouse.

06:10So we can go over and Sherry won't be there.

06:12So we'll be able to, you know, we can go talk to him.

06:14I'm excited.

06:15Okay, let's go, let's go.

06:24What's it called when you make hats?

06:25A milliner.

06:26My grandmother was a milliner, yeah.

06:29Was she really?

06:30Yeah, yeah.

06:31In the 1930s in LA, she made these really amazing hats.

06:35Did you ever see any of the hats that she made?

06:37You know what, no.

06:38She passed away when I was really young.

06:41But I'd love to find one and see what they look like.

06:43Did she have a shop?

06:45My grandfather had a haberdashery.

06:48Haberdashery?

06:48It is harberdashery.

06:49Harberdashery.

06:50Haber, maybe it's haberdashery.

06:52It's a haberdasher.

06:53Haberdasher.

06:55He had a haberdashery.

06:56Am I saying that wrong?

06:56No, you were right.

06:57I was wrong.

06:57Are you sure?

06:58No, you're a haberdasher.

06:59So you're the grandchild of a haberdasher and a milliner.

07:03That's really fun.

07:04And then there's me, and I can barely put an outfit together.

07:11Can you imagine she was sitting right here?

07:13That would be terrible.

07:14Oops, we're selling Encyclopedia.

07:15Hello.

07:16Today, we're meeting our nominator, Larry,

07:18at the Happy Hats warehouse.

07:20This is actually where they make the hats for the kids.

07:22This is where the magic happens.

07:29Larry, hi, Larry.

07:33Oh, hi.

07:33Hi, I'm Lacey.

07:35Come on in.

07:36How are you?

07:37Oh, I'm great.

07:37I'm so glad to see you.

07:39It is so nice to meet you.

07:40Oh, thank you for coming.

07:41I'm Lisa.

07:43I can't wait to hear about Sherry from Larry's perspective.

07:45I also want to know more about them as a couple.

07:47They seem so sweet together.

07:49Follow me.

07:50Let's go sit down.

07:51Great.

07:52Thank you so much for having us.

07:54It's really incredible to see it in person.

07:56I see different holidays, different seasons, different themes.

07:59Even birthday hats?

08:00Yes.

08:01Yeah.

08:01It's really remarkable.

08:03How does she do all of this now?

08:04I mean, do you have volunteers?

08:06Do you have additional people who are making hats?

08:10She has a lot of volunteers.

08:12They have people that cut the patterns, people that sew the patterns,

08:16people that put the decorations on the hats.

08:19And then each person writes a little note in the hat.

08:22I love that.

08:23So when the kid gets the hat, there's a little note for who actually made the hat.

08:28I want to make one.

08:29So meaningful.

08:30Larry, how does everyone find out about Happy Hats?

08:33I don't really know.

08:34That's Susan.

08:35So would I be able to meet Susan and speak with her?

08:37Absolutely.

08:38She's the person that runs all the operation.

08:41I'm looking forward to speaking with Susan.

08:43But first, we need to get to know a little bit more about Sherry.

08:45Sherry sounds like an incredible person.

08:48I'm so glad that I met Sherry.

08:50It has changed my life so much.

08:53I mean, it's just fantastic.

08:55We met and it was like love at first sight.

08:58We're very similar.

08:59It's now Larry and Sherry.

09:02Yeah.

09:02She's a special person.

09:04She is.

09:04She is most certainly a hero.

09:05She needs a special party.

09:06And she needs a special party.

09:08She does.

09:08Well, we need a little help from you also.

09:11Can you tell us some things that Sherry really likes outside of Happy Hats?

09:15Well, she likes peacocks.

09:18We have a lot of peacocks around the house.

09:20Does she have a favorite color?

09:21I think blue.

09:22She likes blues.

09:23Okay.

09:24So we're thinking colors, teal, purple, peacock theme, right?

09:29I think that would be great.

09:30Okay.

09:30Maybe a few real peacocks would even look better.

09:33Let's see what we can do.

09:36Yeah.

09:36I just know all these peacocks I could call.

09:38Absolutely.

09:39I'll get a few from the house and bring them over.

09:41The wheels are turning.

09:42I'm getting, we're gonna find a peacock.

09:44I'll round them up and put them in the car.

09:46Perfect.

09:47Perfect.

09:48I see that look on Lacey's face.

09:50She wants a real peacock.

09:52We can try, but we can't promise anything.

09:55Does Sherry have a favorite drink or a favorite food?

09:59She really likes tea.

10:00Oh, I love that.

10:01I think a fancy tea party would be perfect.

10:05She loves dressing up.

10:06I love it.

10:07She really does.

10:08What about like a happy hat or tea party?

10:10Oh, that's so cute.

10:11That's good.

10:11I love that.

10:12I love that too.

10:13Yeah, that's good.

10:14This is so fantastic.

10:15And we just can't wait to make her feel special and...

10:17Oh, I'm so excited.

10:18I can't wait.

10:19This is great.

10:19We are too.

10:20We're so excited.

10:22Boy, I really, I love it.

10:23I love it.

10:24Thank you so much for doing this.

10:25Yay.

10:26So would it be okay if I spoke with Susan now?

10:28I'll take it to her now.

10:29Thank you so much.

10:29Can we walk around and look around?

10:31Yes, absolutely.

10:32Go walk around.

10:32Feel free to look at anything you want.

10:34Ah, thank you.

10:35I love what I'm hearing so far,

10:37but I want to get a little more inspiration for my hero moment.

10:41So I'm going to meet with Susan while Lisa and Marissa take a look around the warehouse.

10:45Hi, Susan.

10:45Hi, it's Lacey.

10:46Oh, hi.

10:47Hi.

10:48Hi, how are you?

10:48Nice to meet you.

10:49Nice to meet you.

10:50So nice to meet you.

10:51Larry said I could find you here.

10:52Oh yeah, please have a seat.

10:53Thank you so much.

10:55What is it about Happy Hats that means so much to you personally?

10:58Um, knowing that children are getting a gift in the hospital when they're at their most vulnerable

11:04time to give them something to play with, something to make them laugh.

11:09Knowing that you've put a smile on a kid's face, that's beautiful.

11:11Yeah.

11:12Yeah.

11:13How many volunteers do you think you have?

11:14At least a hundred.

11:15Wow.

11:16We do a lot of corporate workshops and we do Girl Scout workshops.

11:20Oh wow.

11:21So Girl Scouts will come in, they'll get a happy hat pin for their badge.

11:25That's awesome.

11:29This is a beautiful color palette.

11:30Yes.

11:31Okay.

11:31Oh.

11:32Hi.

11:33Hi.

11:34Hi.

11:34Are we interrupting something?

11:36No, not at all.

11:36We were just kind of checking out the space.

11:38Yeah.

11:39Are you guys volunteers?

11:41Yes.

11:41Oh, okay.

11:42So Marissa and I were just meeting with Larry and we're throwing a party for Sherry and Larry

11:47said we could just walk around and try and get some inspiration.

11:50What are you guys doing?

11:51Well, we're going to be decorating our superhero hats.

11:54Oh.

11:55And if you want, come and sit down with us.

11:57We'll walk you through it if you want to.

11:59Yes.

12:00I love the idea of getting to experience what the volunteers at Happy Hats do.

12:04Yeah.

12:05Decorating hats?

12:06Sign us up.

12:06Right up our alley.

12:07So I'm going to decorate each side.

12:09I got it.

12:09Yes.

12:09Okay.

12:10And you want to aim for at least three to four things per size.

12:14Okay.

12:15Our volunteers, they're absolutely wonderful.

12:18I mean, they put their heart and soul into this.

12:20They're so creative.

12:21Every hat is unique.

12:23Not two children are going to get the same hat because each volunteer puts their own love and

12:29attention to it.

12:30Right.

12:30We have one lady.

12:31She's 102 years old and she decorates hats for us.

12:33No way.

12:34102.

12:35How incredible.

12:36Yeah.

12:36We had a volunteer who remembered getting a hat in the hospital when they were a child.

12:43No way.

12:44Yes.

12:44The following time that they came in, they brought their old happy hat with them and showed us their

12:49old hat that had been made like 20 years ago.

12:52Oh my gosh.

12:52That's giving me credit.

12:53That's so sweet.

12:54Yeah.

12:54That's amazing.

12:55It is.

12:56No, I'm so inspired by all of this.

12:58Susan, thank you so much for your time.

12:59Oh, thank you.

13:00This has been really informative and so wonderful to hear from you and to get to experience happy

13:04hats.

13:05And I can't wait to see Sherry's surprise.

13:07I know.

13:08It will be very exciting.

13:09I'm excited to see the look on her face and to meet her.

13:14The reason why I got into it was my grandma, she's actually, she's elderly and she has dementia.

13:20I wanted to find like a tactile thing for her to do at home with me.

13:25And so her smile, also just imagining the kids too, it's really fun.

13:30And I feel like it's fulfilling.

13:31I like that part of this is in the making of the hats.

13:34It's not just like the receiving, but it's also the creating and the giving.

13:38So it's just twofold what people are getting out of this.

13:42Absolutely.

13:42Do you guys know Sherry personally?

13:44Have you guys met her?

13:45Yeah.

13:46When I first came here for an interview in order to be a volunteer, Sherry told me about her story

13:53and it really warmed my heart how she was able to turn, oh my goodness, um, such a tragedy into

14:02something so beautiful.

14:04That's true.

14:04And something that her legacy will live on.

14:07Oh my gosh.

14:08It's okay.

14:09It is.

14:10It's true.

14:10It is beautiful.

14:11It's hard.

14:12Yeah.

14:13But yeah.

14:13To take sorrow and turn it into joy for people is, is really a beautiful thing.

14:18Would it be okay if we take some of these back with us so we can take it back for inspiration?

14:22Of course.

14:23Yeah.

14:23Whatever you guys need.

14:24Okay.

14:24Thanks guys.

14:25Thank you guys.

14:26It was so nice meeting you.

14:27Thanks for helping us.

14:28Thank you too.

14:31Bye.

14:41Oh.

14:42Oh.

14:42Good morning.

14:46What is going on?

14:47Hello.

14:47Do you want to play with us?

14:48Please, please.

14:49Oh, I'm terrible.

14:50Really?

14:51I'll watch from over here.

14:52Oh, you're good, Lacey.

14:53Look at that.

14:54Yeah.

14:54That was surprising.

14:56What's the plan with the badminton?

14:57Well.

14:58We were looking for an activity to do at the tea party.

15:01Okay.

15:02So we thought maybe badminton.

15:04Yes.

15:04I think almost everyone could play badminton.

15:07Except for me.

15:07I really cannot play it either, to be honest.

15:09I'm terrible.

15:10That was a lucky shot.

15:11These two are always so much fun.

15:13You literally never know what you're going to walk into.

15:15But we got to get down to business.

15:17This party isn't going to plan itself.

15:18So where are we with the party?

15:20Well, we did get a little inspired with our colors, right?

15:23When we were at Happy Hats, we went down the aisles.

15:25I have so much felt there.

15:27It was so fun for Marissa and I.

15:30And we landed on these jewel tones.

15:32Lisa and I were looking for peacock colors, right?

15:35These, like, a peacock blue.

15:37Perfect peacock colors.

15:38I think we need some gold, too, because Sherry is so fancy, Larry said.

15:42She loves anything elegant.

15:44So let's bring in some gold flatware, some pretty teacups.

15:47Mm-hmm.

15:48Lace.

15:48Yeah.

15:49The ultimate tea party.

15:50The ultimate tea party.

15:51I love it.

15:52Yes.

15:52And we found a beautiful place called L.A. River Gardens.

15:56And it is just the perfect spot for a tea party.

15:58It's already beautiful.

16:00There's always so many details that go into party planning.

16:03But there's this one detail I just can't stop thinking about.

16:06You know, I was thinking, I can't believe that

16:08Sherry and Larry have peacocks in their backyard.

16:10I know.

16:11It's so fun.

16:12It is fun.

16:12Do you think that we could maybe, I don't know,

16:15have some real peacocks at the party?

16:17I don't know.

16:17I'm kind of interested.

16:19Well, Marissa, if we're having peacocks,

16:20or exploring the idea of peacocks,

16:22don't get too excited.

16:23I feel like this batminton might be

16:26a bad idea.

16:26I'm just going to keep something on the ground.

16:28Oh, croquet.

16:29Croquet.

16:30Croquet.

16:30Yes.

16:31Croquet is perfect.

16:33All right, let's discuss what we can place where.

16:36Here is the entrance where Sherry and Larry would be entering from.

16:40Okay.

16:40And this white area right here is really where the party space will be.

16:44So those are the small tables that we were talking about.

16:47Marissa and I really want to do the three-tier platters.

16:50This green grass area right here can be for croquet.

16:54It was going to be Batman, but now it'll be croquet.

16:57Here in this blue square is a gorgeous fountain.

17:00And I thought it'd be a really pretty backdrop to do our tea buffet, right?

17:04Oh, I love that.

17:05Um, and then here we could place a hedge wall and a hedge wall just to make the space

17:10more enclosed.

17:10Okay.

17:11And then we've been talking to a woman named Ashley from Lolliprops who's making us these

17:15amazing four-foot tall hats.

17:17We can scatter them maybe here and here and maybe even one back here.

17:21So this is kind of a general working floor plan and we'll see what else we fill it with.

17:27I can't wait.

17:27This looks amazing.

17:28That's a good space for it.

17:29Super, super, super fun.

17:31All right.

17:31So what's on the agenda for today?

17:32We're going to head out to see Chef Betty and we're going to talk about tea sandwiches.

17:37Okay.

17:37And we're going to go visit Ashley from Lolliprops and see how the hats are coming along.

17:42Great.

17:42I have a lot of things on my agenda today too.

17:44Susan put me in touch with Edith, who is a child life specialist at a local hospital.

17:49And so I'm really excited to speak to someone on the hospital side

17:52who gets to see what these hats really mean to the patients.

17:55And I also have my hero moment to work on.

17:58So good luck.

18:00All right.

18:02Party's tomorrow.

18:03So, you know.

18:08Hi.

18:09Hi, Betty.

18:10How are you?

18:11Welcome to the new house.

18:13It's so good to see you again.

18:14Good to see you too.

18:15Hi here.

18:16Hi to Betty.

18:17Well, have a seat.

18:18Okay, great.

18:18Today, we are meeting Chef Betty, who makes incredible, beautiful pastries.

18:24And we've invited Larry to come along and sample them with us.

18:27Would you like to join us at our tea party?

18:29Oh, thank you.

18:30Thank you for meeting with us.

18:31Oh, I really needed your help.

18:33I wouldn't miss it for anything.

18:35This is great.

18:36Well, you're going to meet Chef Betty.

18:38And Chef Betty was actually on Top Chef.

18:40There she is.

18:41Oh, hello.

18:43Oh, hi.

18:44Hi, Larry.

18:45How are you?

18:45I've wanted happy hatter.

18:47So, here we have happy basil lemonade.

18:50Wait.

18:50This is the happiest lemonade I've ever seen.

18:53Yeah.

18:54We have cheer abounding here.

18:56Wait, can you explain what this is?

18:57So, for the lemonade, we take fresh basil and we make a simple syrup.

19:01And then we add it to fresh lemon and water.

19:03Cheers.

19:04Cheers.

19:05Cheers.

19:06Cheers.

19:06Cheers to Sherry.

19:07Cheers to Sherry.

19:08Aw, to Sherry.

19:08Sherry and happy hats.

19:09Yes.

19:10The idea of a tea party might seem old-fashioned or fussy, but they're not.

19:15They're really current, and everyone loves to do them because it's fun to get dressed up and

19:20feel fancy and sip some tea.

19:22And it could be for all ages.

19:23We do them for some little children's birthday parties.

19:25We do them a lot for bridal showers.

19:28It's really for everyone.

19:29This looks amazing.

19:30With any high tea, you always have the finger sandwiches.

19:34So, we have tiny little mini cupcakes here.

19:38And this is edible glitter.

19:41Wow.

19:41Did you see this, Larry?

19:42And they're coming in every color of the rainbow.

19:44Wow.

19:45For tomorrow, can we cover this in peacock colors?

19:48Yes, absolutely.

19:49Amazing.

19:50So, this is the type of thing she really loves.

19:53Well, before you say anything, you have to taste it.

19:55I think I can force myself.

19:57Well, enjoy.

19:58I'll be back in a little bit to check on you guys.

20:01We ready?

20:02Yes.

20:02It's a treat.

20:05This is great.

20:06Mmm.

20:07So simple.

20:08So good.

20:08This is like something that you see like in those mixed chocolate boxes.

20:12Okay.

20:13Chocolate is like one of her favorites.

20:15Okay.

20:15She likes chocolate.

20:16Let's make sure we have chocolate.

20:17This is just beautiful.

20:19And it really is.

20:20Believe me, this is the kind of stuff she really likes.

20:22Aw.

20:22So, what's the verdict?

20:24These sandwiches were a must.

20:26We need them for the party.

20:27Perfect.

20:27And we found out that Sherry loves chocolate.

20:29So, we want to definitely incorporate the chocolate.

20:32Okay.

20:32Well, Betty is the best.

20:33Oh, thank you guys.

20:34Thank you so much for coming.

20:36I really appreciate it.

20:37And I'm gonna go start cooking.

20:39Yeah.

20:40Let's start cooking, don't you guys?

20:41All right.

20:43Thank you, Betty.

20:43The little things that you do that she's done to make it pop.

20:48Yes.

20:48But that's Sherry, right?

20:49She's someone who's doing something small, giving a child a hat, but it's making a huge impact.

20:55Exactly.

20:56But with adding these little things that they put in makes it like, wow.

20:59While Lisa and Marissa are meeting with Larry, I'm meeting with Edith.

21:10Hi.

21:11How are you?

21:11I'm Lacey.

21:12Great to meet you, like.

21:13I'm really hoping she can help me with my hero moment for Sherry.

21:16Have a seat.

21:17I just want to give Sherry that same kindness and joy that she's given to so many back to her through this special gift.

21:24Can you tell me a little bit more about what you do at the hospital?

21:26I am a child life specialist.

21:29It means that I help kids cope with every part of the hospital, from their IV starts, to surgery, to end of life, and facilitate play.

21:40Okay.

21:40Play is the opportunity for them to just be kids and keep developing while they're in the hospital.

21:46That's why I was so inspired by what Sherry does, that she's able to bring a smile to a kid's face and brighten their day.

21:53And I was just really taken by all the stories that I've heard so far.

21:58Her hats bring so much joy to the kids, to their parents.

22:05When I go around and hand out the hats, I've had fathers who ask me for a hat for themselves and they will wear it.

22:14It sounds like, especially in some of life's toughest moments, it's a little piece of joy that people can grab onto.

22:20It absolutely is.

22:21So, Edith, I have a favor to ask.

22:23Okay.

22:24I want to do something special for Sherry.

22:26I want to do something that really makes her feel appreciated.

22:30I was thinking it would be really nice if the kids could possibly decorate, draw on, or sign this tea set.

22:38She loves tea so much, and since we're having a tea party.

22:42So, there's markers and stickers, and I thought the kids could go through and decorate the tea set, sign their names if they'd like, and if they want to include a personal note, they can, no pressure.

22:52I'm sure they would love that.

22:52But I just think it would be really nice for Sherry to hear from the kids how much the happy hats have meant to them.

22:57Yeah, I think they would enjoy that.

22:58Do you think you could help me with it?

22:59Yeah, they would enjoy the craft, and they would enjoy giving it to her after all the fun, special love that she shares with them.

23:07So, I'm sure they would enjoy it.

23:09Thank you so much for your help with this, and I can't wait to see you at the celebration.

23:12Oh, I'm so excited for it.

23:14Talking with Edith has me really excited about having the kids decorate this tea set for Sherry.

23:19I just think she's going to feel loved and so appreciated, and I can't wait to see the look on her face when she opens this gift.

23:25It's my pleasure.

23:27Yes.

23:27It was so nice to meet you.

23:28Oh, it was lovely to meet you.

23:39Well, I'm excited to see what Ashley's been cooking up in here.

23:43While I've been meeting with Edith and working on my hero moment, Lisa and Marissa are on their way to lolliprops

23:48to check on how their giant hat idea is coming along.

23:52I'm not sure I know what this means, but I love the sound of it.

23:55Hello, Ashley.

23:56Welcome.

23:57Hi.

23:58I didn't realize it was going to be this big, and it's incredible.

24:01When you're decorating, scale is extremely important to keep in mind.

24:05The bigger something is, the more impact it has, and also filling a space up with large objects of decor

24:12can make the space feel more intimate in a really good way.

24:15So, what's the next step on this?

24:17I'm going to wrap it with fabric.

24:19We can talk about colors and textures.

24:22I started pulling some ideas.

24:24Can we see?

24:25Yeah, you come over here.

24:26Oh, right behind me.

24:29Could you order this for us?

24:30This is amazing.

24:31I love this velvet, too, right here.

24:33So, should we play with some of these colors and see what it looks like just as an example?

24:37Let's check.

24:38So, how about you grab this side?

24:40Yeah.

24:41All right, Lisa, what do you think?

24:42You guys, the velvet is perfect.

24:44Okay.

24:45Really.

24:45It's great.

24:46Spot on?

24:46Yes.

24:47Why don't we use the peacock fabric around the bottom?

24:49Let me just...

24:50Oh, pretty.

24:51This fabric is perfect for our peacock theme.

24:53I love it.

24:54Yes.

24:55What is this amazing thing?

24:56Um, it's literally a dollar store picture frame that I painted gold.

25:00Well, you guys, it's so pretty.

25:02Definitely, we need some feathers.

25:04Some little flare.

25:06How about something like this?

25:08Yes.

25:08I love it.

25:09I love it.

25:10Yeah, some more.

25:10Yes.

25:11This is perfection.

25:12Our next hat, though, like just like this, but with purple.

25:15Okay.

25:16All right.

25:16Thank you so much for doing this by tomorrow.

25:18Yeah.

25:18We can't thank you enough.

25:19We got our work cut out for us.

25:21Yeah.

25:21For sure.

25:22And we promise for our next client, we will give you some more time.

25:24Yes.

25:26The color is just perfect.

25:35Okay.

25:35And then here's our peacock friends.

25:37These are such a...

25:38Excuse me.

25:39Good morning.

25:40What is happening here?

25:42Good morning.

25:44Nerissa, this hat is amazing.

25:46I can't believe she did this literally overnight.

25:49I love it.

25:50It's perfect for your happy hatter's theme.

25:52Yes.

25:53I love these hats so much that you're just so amazing.

25:57And if they happen to disappear by the end of the party, don't check my trunk.

26:01Do you think it'll fit in my trunk?

26:03Should we walk you through the floor plan?

26:04Yes, please.

26:05Okay.

26:06So guests are going to come in down the ramp and we've got tables right under the stringer lights.

26:13And then on the tables, we have beautiful tiered platters filled with little sandwiches and pastries.

26:18And guests are going to play croquet on this grass area over here.

26:23So we have some special guests coming.

26:25Well, you know how we were talking about if we could possibly get live peacocks?

26:30Right.

26:31Are there going to be live peacocks?

26:33They're coming.

26:33Are you serious?

26:34They should be here soon, actually.

26:35Oh, that's going to be so much fun.

26:36Sherry is going to flip out.

26:37We wanted to make Lacey's vision for this party come to life,

26:41which meant we spent the entire night calling every animal wrangler in Los Angeles.

26:45A miracle of all miracles, the very last number on our list,

26:49had peacocks available and they are coming to the party.

26:52Anything for Lacey.

26:53Everyone, we have two and a half hours until guests arrive.

26:56Okay, these are adorable.

27:15That's beautiful.

27:16I like that.

27:19Good morning.

27:20Hi.

27:21How are you?

27:22Where do I go with these?

27:23Oh my goodness, so good to see you here.

27:26I'll help you.

27:26Okay.

27:27Thank you so much.

27:28I wore my purple Hallmark colors.

27:29And you look perfect.

27:30I love it.

27:36Look at those beautiful flowers coming in.

27:38Oh my goodness.

27:41Gosh.

27:41Aren't they so pretty?

27:43These are beautiful.

27:45And do you guys want to maybe do the croquet?

27:48I don't know anything about croquet, so...

27:49Do you know about croquet?

27:51Uh, it has a stick and a ball, right?

27:53Oh.

27:53Yeah.

27:53We're off to a good start.

27:54Maybe?

27:54Okay, so we need to make like a diamond with the wickets.

27:57Yes.

28:00You made your diamond very tiny.

28:02Uh-oh.

28:02Is that bad?

28:03So do like one big diamond here.

28:05Right.

28:06And one big diamond here.

28:07I'll just move everything down a little bit.

28:08How about that?

28:09That's good.

28:12All right, let's finish setting up.

28:13We have an hour left.

28:14Okay.

28:14An hour?

28:15One hour, everybody.

28:16One hour.

28:17You can do it.

28:31This is for my hero moment.

28:32It turned out so well.

28:33I'm just going to place it under here.

28:36No one's looking.

28:37It's going to be a great surprise.

28:40Hello.

28:41Hi.

28:41I bring food.

28:43Yay.

28:45These are incredible looking.

28:48Let's set up a table.

28:49Yeah.

28:49Let's do it.

28:50Let's do it.

28:51Presentation.

28:52Attention to detail.

28:53It's all about throwing a great party,

28:55and Chef Betty has nailed it.

28:57It has to look good and taste good, right?

28:59We've got the cream cheese and cucumber.

29:02The smoked ham.

29:04Fresh fruit for the color.

29:06And then I love the peacock color.

29:08Those are gorgeous.

29:09Mini cupcakes.

29:10And these are edible peacock flowers on the Madeleine.

29:14It's whimsical and just fantastical.

29:16Yeah.

29:17Just like Sherry.

29:18Well, we just need to add some flowers,

29:19and our table is set.

29:20Yeah.

29:21Great.

29:21That's great.

29:21Thank you so much.

29:22You're very, very welcome, you guys.

29:24Enjoy.

29:27That's so cute.

29:31Whoa.

29:32Oh, my goodness.

29:34They're here.

29:36This is Linus, and that's Petey.

29:38They are just incredible.

29:39I mean, you can't imagine those colors in real life

29:43until you see them up close like that.

29:44Totally.

29:44Yeah.

29:45Nature's art right there.

29:46Are we allowed to touch them?

29:47Absolutely.

29:48I mean, you don't see a peacock every day,

29:50so seeing one up close is so special.

29:51They're so beautiful.

29:53This party keeps getting better and better.

29:55Well, I'm so glad they're here.

29:57They're beautiful.

29:58Welcome to the party, Linus and Petey.

30:11What happened to our peacocks?

30:14So sad.

30:14It's a little too warm.

30:16Oh, but you fixed it right up.

30:17Oh, thank goodness.

30:18I love the way everything turned out.

30:20It's like a magical little dream come true.

30:22I love it.

30:22Guess we'll be here in two minutes, so perfect timing.

30:24Okay.

30:25All right.

30:25Thanks for everything.

30:26Perfect.

30:27All right.

30:28the guests are coming.

30:30All right, the guests are coming.

30:58Yay.

30:59Hi, come on in.

31:01Nice to meet you.

31:02Hi, thank you for coming.

31:04Hi, how are you?

31:06Nice to meet you.

31:07Your outfit is perfect.

31:09Hi.

31:10Nice to meet you.

31:11Kathy, you remember from our office?

31:14We have the two Elaine's.

31:15Hi, Lacey.

31:16Nice to meet you.

31:17Thank you so much for coming.

31:18Sherry will be here in a few minutes.

31:19We'd like everybody to wear a hat.

31:21You guys want to wear any of these?

31:22You look fabulous.

31:23The big moments.

31:29They're ready for the surprise.

31:30She's coming.

31:32Probably was very old this place, I would say, huh?

31:34Yeah.

31:35We're moments away.

31:36She'll be walking down the ramp, and then we'll all yell surprise.

31:38Interview this way.

31:51Interview this way.

31:52Here she comes.

31:53I can't wait.

31:53I've got to see the look on her face.

31:55Surprise!

31:56Oh, my gosh!

32:03You invited them, too?

32:05Yes.

32:06Hi, Sherry.

32:07It's so nice to meet you.

32:08I've heard so much about you.

32:09Thank you, honey.

32:12Aren't you on the Hallmark movies?

32:14Yes.

32:14I feel so honored to meet you.

32:16Well, now you are on a Hallmark show.

32:19This show is all about celebrating heroes, and this whole celebration is all for you.

32:24This all came about because you were nominated as a hero by Larry.

32:29I nominated you.

32:31Thank you, sweetheart.

32:34I just think that Sherry deserves recognition after all the years she's put in, the dedication,

32:40and people appreciate what you've done, and I think that you deserve something like this.

32:46Thank you so much.

32:47Learning that Larry nominated me as a hero is so loving and so precious.

32:53I was so inspired when I heard about your decades of work with Happy Hats and the way

32:59that you put a smile on so many kids' faces, and today we hope we put a big smile on your

33:03face.

33:03I am so shocked to see all these special people in my life right here in front of me.

33:13I love your hats.

33:15They're my favorite.

33:16You get the old ones.

33:17I love this Happy Hatter-themed tea party.

33:22Everybody is wearing a hat.

33:24So this one is for you.

33:26Oh, thank you.

33:26And Larry.

33:27Happy hats make me happy.

33:30Guest of honor of the party.

33:32Oh, thank you.

33:33We have a lot of surprises planned for you today, and we just want you to enjoy yourself and

33:41enjoy the party.

33:43I just want to say to all of you, you are all my heroes.

33:50I'm just the one who had an idea, but you all put it into action.

33:57So many of you help bring some smiles and laughter to little brave and courageous hospitalized

34:05children, and I thank you all very much.

34:11Let's have tea.

34:12I can't believe this with the peacocks.

34:20Please feel free to play croquet.

34:23Also, we have this amazing dessert table over there.

34:25Where did they get these cupcakes?

34:28Oh, these are so fantastic.

34:31See, it's beautiful.

34:33We should have had this at our wedding, honey.

34:38Fantacular, huh?

34:40You deserve it.

34:41Oh, thank you.

34:43We tried to do as much peacock as possible.

34:46Fabulous.

34:46Everything.

34:47Aw.

34:48Down to the infant.

34:49I'm very detail-oriented.

34:51Marissa and you are the best party planners.

34:54If I would have known you, I would have had you do my wedding.

34:58Oh, this is just fabulous.

35:01Well, you're fabulous, so you deserve it.

35:04To see everybody recognize the importance of what she does was just overwhelming, and she

35:12will always remember this moment.

35:18That is just too cute.

35:23I love, love, love this happy hat.

35:28Croquet.

35:29Oh, croquet.

35:29I never played croquet in my life.

35:36Oh, I know what you mean.

35:45She's doing high heels.

35:46Oh, wow.

35:49Hit it hard.

35:52Oh, she's a pro.

35:54Susan, could you help me?

35:55I just wanted to gather everyone's attention.

35:57Folks, if we could have you all come up here, please.

36:02We just have a couple little surprises.

36:05Edith, would you join me?

36:06Do you mind?

36:07Thank you so much.

36:08And Sherry, will you come over?

36:09I'm so excited to give Sherry this gift.

36:12Edith was able to have the kids decorate this tea set, and it's absolutely beautiful.

36:17It's really special.

36:18I hope she loves it.

36:20So, Sherry, we wanted to do something special for you.

36:22Just for the decades of outstanding work you do with Happy Hats, I mean, you put a smile

36:27in so many kids' faces, and you give them hope.

36:30We hope we put a smile in your face today.

36:32And Edith helped me out with this.

36:34Yes.

36:35The children at her hospital helped to bring this together.

36:38They wanted to say thank you not only for what you've done for them, but what you've

36:41done for so many kids over the years.

36:46Oh, my gosh.

36:47Since we know you love tea, we thought that you could celebrate with this beautiful

36:51tea set, and the kids have decorated it for me.

36:54Oh, the kids decorated this?

36:56The kids did it all.

36:57Oh.

36:58It's been 32 years that we've been decorating hats for children.

37:03Look.

37:04Look, with the diamonds on it.

37:06The kids put all of these jewels on these cups, too.

37:10And today, I received this beautiful gift from the children in the hospital.

37:16Oh, my gosh.

37:17This is too cute.

37:19And it just so touched my heart.

37:23Look at this with all the jewels on it.

37:25It's beautiful.

37:26Very, very special gift.

37:28Dearest Sherry, thank you from the bottom of my heart for thinking of the kids in the

37:33hospital.

37:34You give us your blessings in the form of these fun, sweet, and special hats.

37:40Love, Edith.

37:41Child life specialist from White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles.

37:46I think there are some notes from the children in here.

37:48I want to read.

37:49I'm going to read every single one of them.

37:51Thank you so very much.

37:52You're so welcome.

37:53This is a very, very special gift.

37:56We have one more little surprise.

37:58I get to see our heroes' faces when I get to tell them there's more.

38:02It's hard for me to contain my own excitement, but I have to pull it together for the big moment.

38:07Will you give me one more second?

38:08I'll give you two seconds.

38:09Be right back.

38:10So one last thing.

38:23Sherry, the work that you do is so meaningful, and I know that you support and give hope to

38:28families during a very difficult time when their kids are in the hospital, and we hope

38:32to help support you in continuing that beautiful work that you do.

38:35So we're excited to present you with this $10,000 donation to Happy Hats for Kids in

38:40Hospitals.

38:48Thank you so much.

38:49You're so welcome.

38:50But how could I take that to the bank?

38:54Sherry is such an inspiration.

38:56Her commitment to making sick kids smile through Happy Hats, it just affected me so deeply.

39:01It's so simple.

39:02One small act is all it takes.

39:04You know what, Sherry?

39:06Apparently, they figure out a way to make it work.

39:10I can't express in words how much I appreciate this $10,000 gift.

39:18That is one of the biggest gifts that we got this year.

39:22I'm feeling so blessed.

39:25This will help so many children and their families.

39:29Because you can imagine when a child is sick and they get a hat or they get a little loving

39:39gift from us, what it does to the family when they see their child's smile.

39:45And that smile is worth $10,000.

39:50That one smile.

39:53It means a lot.

39:55She's a phenomenal woman.

39:57She's great.

39:58She puts out so much effort to these children to try to make them happy.

40:02The $10,000 donation to Happy Hats will make such a huge difference to everything.

40:07And we really appreciate it.

40:08Let's party.

40:09You deserve it, you know?

40:23You work so hard all your life.

40:26Yeah.

40:26I mean, you finally...

40:28This is just so beautiful.

40:29Honey, all these people recognizing you for all the work you've done your whole life.

40:35I mean, it doesn't get better than this.

40:37I'm so excited to sit down.

40:39I hope that they're not going to mind us sitting here.

40:42I know.

40:42You think they're going to be okay with it?

40:43It feels so good to sit.

40:45My feet...

40:45They're staring at us.

40:46They're like, why are you over here with us?

40:49Make room for Petey the Peacock.

40:52Hi.

40:52Do you want to sit with us and Petey and...

40:55Yes.

40:56Of course.

40:56Can I scoot in?

40:57Sure.

40:59Yes.

40:59I figured we needed some treats.

41:02Yes.

41:02I've been eyeing these all day.

41:04I know, me too.

41:04Want to split one with me?

41:05I would love to.

41:06Thank you so much.

41:06I'm going to try this chocolate one.

41:08Perfect.

41:09Cheers.
