My Hats, Hats, and more Hats!
Posted: Monday, 25 February 2008 |
I love hats and over the past two years I've been able to add several beauties to my collection. I even managed to locate some affordable yet beautiful hatpins that help my hats stay on my head in the perpetual Orkney "breezes." Sadly I can't advertise but suffice it to say, the lady from whom I order my hats does a fantastic job for a fraction of the usual price for hats!
This was last-year's Easter Bonnet.
I have to admit, this is my favorite hat of all!
This is my autumn hat but I wear it year-round.
This one will match all of my blue or green clothes.
This one will be my Easter Bonnet for this year!

Lovely hats, Michelle. I'm surprised the hatpins work, though! Stick to the bonnets, they're less likely to blow away :-)

The pink one for this Easter puts me in mind of the late Queen Mother, does your hat maker have Royal connections?

Lovely photos of lovely hats! I am jealous...I would love to wear hats but I have a fringe and it gets in my eyes when I wear them!

Personally, I would suggest the addition of a Mao hat to the wardrobe, plus a copy of the Little Red Book to the library. I had both, not so long ago (as it seems), and I can testify to the usefulness of one and the hilariousness of the other. I would vouch that your presence with the two props at the Dounby Fair would be a head turner.

One of the Hat Lady's hats has met the Queen while perched on a lady's head which is just tooo cool! These hats that I've purchased are usualy below $100 (拢50) which is shocking! Otherwise I could only aford one or two. Can I get a Mao hat emblazoned with, "...Women Hold Up Half Of The Sky.." or is that asking for too much? I have a fringe but because I love to war hats I keep it trimmed enough that it doesn't hang in my eyes like a sheep dog whenever I stuff a hat on my noggin. I still can't figure out why the grey/black hat is my favourite. You'd think I'd be attracted to the more colourful flashy hats but if I had to give them all away except one I'd keep the grey feathered affair. Interesting!

Hi there! I am a long time reader of your other blog, ave maria, but I couldn't figure out how to comment on there. I was reading your post about simple dresses, and I have to say I love the green dress. I can't seem to find it on fashions in time though...which dress is it, could you tell me?

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
