Even I never use a hat, I understand, that someone enjoys doing them, they are like art pieces made by an artist`s hands. And fortunately many enjoy also about wearing them :) Have a happy weekend Kate!
Hats. Women in hats. Ladies in bonnets. My mom wore a bonnet all of her life. I remember the neighbor lady, Esta Flory, always wore a bonnet, except to bed and she had something she wore on her head to bed that tied under her chin. Mom and most ladies made their bonnets out of flour sack material put out by Gold Medal Flour especially during the war. Those bonnets and aprons were proper and fitting and women of all stripes wore both every day of their lives. I was much too young to visit a prostitute in those days but I have heard they wore bonnets to bed.
I love your hat photos - and this one especially. Love velvet hats.
Yes, I did know ambiance could be spelled ambience - have left more on Menton DP - following your message, Kate. The French spell it ambiance and translate it as atmosphere.
The one in the middle of the picture is very Diane Keaton, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteA nice weekend to you too! :)
I bet I would look good in that one with the red on it!

I'm not really a hat person. My parents bought me knit hats as a kid and I resisted vehemently.

ReplyDeleteI like hats on women. Are they making a fashion comeback?

I like the color of the store interior :)
ReplyDeleteNot a woolly hat in sight.
ReplyDeleteCome and have a chuckle at today's photo!
Looks like a very eclectic craft fair, with a nice assortment of goods. Nice that you make the trek!
ReplyDelete"Chapeau" pour ce blog !
ReplyDeleteThe expression is a little bit out of date, in fact it was an abbreviation of "hat off" (chapeau bas) in sign of respect.
I'd like to try them all on, just for a bit of fun!
ReplyDeletepretty neat!
ReplyDeleteI'll take the one with the deep red band, please. :-)
