I love the feathery curls on this one <3

Hmmm made in Pittsburgh! I wonder the story behind it! What do you think it could be? 

Hats for the Holidays! Day 25 & Beautiful Blessings - 11/25/15

A jaunty hat that I think might have turkey feathers! Im not sure, so dont quote me! lol! Tis ostentatious to say the least!

Blessings for the day:

~ Prepping desserts ahead of time for tomorrow!

~ Yummy leftovers for dinner!

~ Watching "Holiday Inn" with the girls! They enjoyed it!

~ That my friend was protected when his car broke down!

~ God is good. No matter what. 

1 Chronicles 16:34 (ESV)

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

    for his steadfast love endures forever!

Hats for the Holidays! Day 5

A black hat with a jaunty feather on top! You may recall this one from my Venerable Vintage Hat post last winter!

Très chic, non? 

Hats for the Holidays! Day 2

Another black velvet hat! This time with feathers!

It even has its own hat pin! Always handy to have! ;~)

At one point, it had a netting over the face which wouldve been quite pretty!

Tis a very pretty chapeau! Perfect for dressing up for the holidays!

Venerable Vintage Hats: Hopeful Feathers!

I suppose to celebrate the 700th post on my blog, we need something special! Something classic, feathered, and quite fetching! I think this fits the bill! Don't you?

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.

Venerable Vintage Hats: Not Seen Everyday!

Minerva: What do you think, Mother?

Stepmother: Uh, it's certainly not the sort of thing you see everyday.

Calliope: I saw it first. How do you think it looks on me, Mother?

Minerva: Ech, awful.

Calliope: I didn't ask you.

Stepmother: How can a mother choose between two such extraordinary daughters!

Calliope: Cinderella. Cinderella!

Cinderella: Yes?

Calliope: Does it look better on me?

Minerva: Or me?

Cinderella: Well, I don't know much about hats, but I don't think it flatters either one of you.

(Stepsisters gasp!)

Minerva: What did you ask her for?

Calliope: She doesn't know anything about hats, she said so herself!
