It is Vintage Black Friday again!
This sweet hat is one of my favorite things – though I have it packed away in a hatbox most of the time. The hat itself isn’t vintage – though it is hand-made and one-of-a-kind. I found it 11 years ago in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. I loved it so much that I bought a vintage hatbox to take it home in on the plane. I wrote about it here.
The beautiful black lace is vintage. Isn’t it lovely? (The millinery flowers are vintage as well and the gorgeous deep purple ribbon is from France.)
The brim of the hat is beaded. I love that little detail.
Please visit Jill at Gypsy Brocante to see more!
What a beautiful hat!!! I’d love to see the vintage hatbox!
Have a wonderful weekend, Claudia!

Hi Claudia,
That is a darling hat. I can imagine Beatrix Potter wearing it in England. I can see why you purchased a vintage hat box to keep it safe. Have a good weekend and give your two pups a hug from me and Zeke.

Ah, thank you for the link for the hatbox. Now I remembered reading about it. I thought I had seen it on your blog but wasn’t sure, you know how that is, we read SO many blogs! It’s gorgeous!

That hat is to die for- so gorgeous! You have the most wonderful treasures Claudia- I sure wish I could visit your home in person. I bet it would take me all day to drool over everything :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Claudia. What a pretty hat. I wish they were more in style now, or maybe if I lived in the South I might get to wear one now and then. I love to watch the Kentucky Derby to see the ladies’ hats!
Hugs,

Beautiful Hat!! I truly love all things on it. And the beading detail is lovely. Thanks for sharing…
Beautiful, Claudia. I always love the little details, too, and that beading was the icing on the cake! Loved all of it!… Donna
Pretty hat. Wouldn’t it be fun if it became the fashion to wear these old hats again! You’d be all set. I loved the table your hubbie found for your dollhouse. He’s got a good eye. I want to see what your little house looks like all decorated!
I’m a real hat lover. Wear them more in winter than summer but I never really leave home without one.
Love yours!
Have a great weekend!

Looks vintage to me, must be all the embellishments. Have you worn it?
Personally, I’m not a hat gal, just to big of a face it seems.
