Oh how I miss my childhood and young teen and adult years when I would go shopping with my two sisters and sweet mom at the House of Paris hat shop! Every year for my entire life I had a very beautiful Easter hat and as an adult I have cherished this tradition but have bought myself a Kentucky Derby hat! Since the Derby is on my bucket list, I wear my hat even though I am sitting in my own living room watching this event with my Sweets. Here is my 2016 Derby hat:
A pink vintage inspired Garden Party hat. I love having tea parties too so this will be fun to wear more than once. Please visit
Beverly and the pinkies to say hello and share some anything goes pink week!
My 2013 Blue Derby hat. I like to shop at Berkley Hats in Berkley, California. Their hats are reasonable, unless you want a Queen Elizabeth hat or a big name hat designer. This precious hat was a special one because I had won $1,000 on the radio. I purchased hats for two of my three daughters, Rebekah and Hannah with part of that money too. Noelle had recently purchased a hat for a girlfriends bridal shower which had a Kentucky Derby theme. So she did not want another hat.I would love to be so talented that I could design a line of hats.
Here is Noelle's hat, which won her first prize in the Best Derby Hat at Diana's bridal shower. This was the hat from the Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Hat. You can see a bit of blue here too. So now you can stop by
Jeanne's and wish her a Happy Blue Monday as well as visit others. I try to visit all the participates in all the meme's I participate in. I just think it is a nice courtesy.
These pinterest images show a sweet cat celebrating Derby Day and a Pretty pup sharing their favorite Kentucky Derby hats. Stop by
Sandee's and visit her and everyone who celebrates Aw...Monday!
Funny that the man I married was quite a dancer when I met him yet he is telling me he is not going to dance all night at our son's wedding April 30th. I suppose we could talk or smooch! Love this Love is... and hope you all have a wonderful week!
