Perfect with a string of pearls! Or two...or three!!!

Hats for the Holidays! Day 19

A fur-trimmed hat with a sparkly broach! Tis a beautiful hat, and perfect for the holidays!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and ironically, I havent been posting my Beautiful Blessings, although I will pick it up again soon. God has been using this month in a special way for me, so I will be sharing it with you withing a few days! And after I do that, I will probably resume my Beautiful Blessings! Though I must say, Im quite thankful for encouraging friends today. Well, encouraging friends, and encouraging friends. It goes both ways! :~)

Hats for the Holidays! Day 18

Completely random: the hat has nothing to do with what Im gonna say, but I needed a hat for today so voila! (Its pretty though! I havent worn it to work yet as they gave me it!) Anywho, "A Charlie Brown Christmas'' is such a sweet relaxing movie to watch! Ive got a migraine tonight, hence the "stock photo" so I curled up and watched that with Mom. Mmmm....

Patty: Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue. It's fun.

Linus: Mmm. Needs sugar.

Lucy: It's too early. I never eat December snowflakes. I always wait until January.

Linus: They sure look ripe to me.

Hats for the Holidays! Day 17

Yes, another brown hat! This was one my Mom had....and I think she may have worn it after her wedding when she changed out of her wedding dress to regular clothes. Tis a very nice hat! Ive always loved it <3 But then again, I love all my babies....er......hats ;~) Heehee!!

Even has a bow on the back! Makes me think of "Olivia and the Missing Toy" by Ian Falconer.

"Still it was Olivia's best toy. So she fixed it, adding a bow for extra beauty."
