The Lady In The Hat



Today, when we were visiting my father and mother, I took this picture of the lady of the house who was looking over her numerous WINTER hats.
Hats with ribbons!
Hats with feathers!

I think she is rushing the season if you ask me.
I, for one do not even like to THINK about winter!!

Most of the hats you see here are hats that mom has rescued from second hand shops and made into works of art with her own loving hands!
Hats that are every color of the rainbow!
Hats enough to go with any outfit!

Perched on my mother's head is the sylish hat that she purchased a few weeks ago.
A NEW hat!
A COMPLETED hat!

Peeking through the doorway is the master of the house, smiling at the bed full of hats!

This is just a small number of the hats that mom owns because in the hat closet beside her are living a couple of dozen SPRING and SUMMER hats!!
Hats with flowers!
Hats with lace!

As you can see, "My mother is a lady of many hats"!

I love this picture of your Mom and her wonderful hat collection!! Her hats are beauties and its remarkable that she has 'rescued' some for her collection. I just bought a winter 'felted' hat the other day at a craft festival.And I have 2 vintage hats that are special to me. Once in a local furniture store they had a 'hat' lamp...a real hat sitting on top of a wire frame. Oh how I wanted that...smile. But, I came home and enjoyed my pink hat, perched over a small lamp shade...and it lit up just nicely. Its nice to think of you and your Mom wearing & enjoying hats! Marilla Cuthbert would certainly approve, wouldn't she...=) Hope you've had a good day!

Hi Terry, I love it that you have the American flag with your Canadian flag...that touched my heart dear blogger friend! Five years isn't very long if you are mourning a loved one lost in the 911 attack that we had here. I remember my daughter calling me up that day to tell me she loved me just in case...~~~~And I liked hearing about your Mom washing your hair with dish detergent..and at least you had greaseless hair...grin. Hope you've had just the best kind of day! Rest up and relax with me...(thats what I'm doing right now!)

Terry, you are such a sweetheart and what a loyal friend/sister to us in the States. May freedom ring and may God give our troops victory again and again over our enemies. United we stand...blessings to you dear Terry.

Wow...that is some hat collection! I don't own hats, because quite frankly, I don't look good in hats, so your mother is lucky that she can "pull off the look"!

So, so much like Miss Fanny, as I wrote before! Have you seen Jan Karon's book "Miss Fanny's Hat"? I can't find the post I commented on last time so I don't know if you answered.

I don't look good in hats but if I did I'd want a whole collection, too!

I popped over from Maggie Ann's ... Your mom's hat collection is lovely. And thanks for sharing about your affection for the USA and flying the red white and blue so often. I live just a bit south of the US/Canadian border and often see the White and Red Maple Leaf flag waving. I too noticed a bit of fall colors amongst the trees today ...

Hi Terry, thanks for stopping by before you left for the evening...warmest wishs to you too for a happy evening. I will be coating my homemade peppermint patties with white chocolate and then practising my cello after I clean up the kitchen. I made lasagna for supper, but I am a very messy cook...=), yes, I really am!

Hi Terry! I came over to enjoy more of your lovely pictures! Ty and I always enjoy browsing. He sits on my lap during the day and just watches. It's cute. I love the picture of your momma with all those hats. I LOVE hats and used to wear them all the time. I haven't in a while...maybe I'll get one out and wear it! ;) Hugs, Jessica
