Yup, it’s a “hat post” today! š But the best part? My sis made it for me…once it was only a ball of yarn… I love it, it’s warm and cream and there’s a flower on it!

Another “poor-boy” hat. Ā It’s also another gift hat. Ā Hat’s that are gifts are always awesome because… well, chances are I probably wouldn’t have it otherwise… š Yup. I love the textured look of this hat… and it’s green š
The ‘aviators’ are vintage…1970s maybe? hehe.
Happy Monday!

With summer almost over, I still wanted to post one of my very “summery” hats. Ā The wide brim keeps the sun off and it’s nice and light-weight for those hot days. Ā Because it’s so simple, it’s easy to dress down or dress up with it. š
The cat is a stray… she showed up about a week and a half ago and we haven’t been able to track down her family yet. Ā She just joined us while we were snapping these pictures and they ended up being my favourite from the set. š

P.s. Thx for snapping the pics, Sis š
Another new hat. š Ā This one is from a friend…a “just because” gift. From someone who saw it and thought of me, isn’t that sweet?! A new hat and a new hat story. š
I love the simplicity of this hat and the 1920s vintage feel of its style. Definitely my type of hat š
She even put a little personal touch to it…so thoughtful!
Thanks Jenny! š I love it! You’ve got great taste!

Two three of my sisters and my cousin gave me this hat for my birthday last week. Ā It’s different from any of my other hats, which is probably why I like it š It has a vintage feel to it, but I can’t decide which decade it would fit into the best. Ā It’s black and white which means it will match with almost any outfit I put together… (how cool is that?!)
Thanks Rasco, Munchkin, Bill, and Boo…I love the hat! It was so thoughtful of you all to buy it for me.

So…it’s been a long time since I wrote “a hat post“. Ā If you weren’t around then, I’ll just bring you up to date. Ā Basically…I like hats (a lot! š ) and have a collections of them. So I started posting about my different hats and the story behind them – if there is one.
I saw this one weeks and weeks ago but didn’t want to pay full price (duh! Who ever wants to pay full price?) Last week, on a whim, I went back into the store and saw that it was half price…just in time to wear to my friend’s outdoor ceremony for her wedding. š
It reminds of something from the late 1930s to early 1940s…I like the vintage feel…

I plan to continue featuring my hat collection weekly or at the least by-weekly. š
Just coming through another weekendā¦! Hope yours was as nice as mine! š Birthday celebrations always make for great āadd onsā to an otherwise ānormalā (whatever that is!) weekend. š With a family (including extended) the size of mine, we get to celebrate often! š
On to the reason for my postā¦
So I have this āthingā for hats.Ā It started years ago when one of my brothers found a āpoor boyā (newsie) type hat in a park.Ā Lucky for me there was a flower on it, and he gave it too me. (Thinking backā¦wearing a hat found in a park is a little grossā¦but, it was years ago and Iām still alive. I probably wouldnāt do that now though, just sayinā.) Lots of people said it looked good on meā¦guess I have a nice face shape for hatsā¦? š Thatās how it startedā¦Iāve bought and received various hats ever since and I have a whole little shelf of my āhat collectionā.
Iāve decided post pictures (and the stories that go with them if there is one!) of my hat collection.Ā Kind of like an āongoing featureā.Ā So if you like hats as much as I doā¦be sure and check back!
My sister crocheted this one for me (hum yeah sheās awesome like that!) so Iām not sure what to call it.Ā I like this one because itās simple and goes with a lot of my outfits.Ā Itās perfect for a ābad hair dayā haha. Itās super versatile and works if my hair is up but itās also a fabulous āadd onā if I just want to leave my hair down. Ā When styling it the day of the picture, I was going for a ā1920s feelā.
Hope you enjoyed a peek into my hat collection⦠there will be (many!) more in the (nearish?) future…!
