Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Hello and welcome. We are happy to see you.
We especially love the “Anita” Hattingdon trio, so we are sharing the design here to bring you a “hatful of smiles”. Let’s go!
The colour combination in this Anita design is chic and oh so fun.
Can you believe the Anita design was created as long ago as 2012? It looks as fresh and charming as ever, don’t you think? We hope you enjoyed seeing it.
Love, Hattingdon.
New hat alert. Inspired by Wedgewood pottery, Hattingdon is featured here wearing a cracking sky blue saucer hat.
We named the hat design “Josie” in honour of world reknown potter, Josiah Wedgwood. What a fascinating man.
But, first a look at this lovely hat.
“The British potter Josiah Wedgwood (12 July 1730 – 3 January 1795) was not only a ceramic artist, but also on the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. Wedgwood brought science into the manufacturing process.”
“He also introduced work standards, time sheets, and many other methods that are common in the modern-day workplace.”
“He virtually invented modern mass-produced pottery by industrializing the industry. He used specialized division of labour to produce high quality at low cost, and sold his wares in every European city as well as to the wider world.”
Wedgwood’s vast array of talents and accomplishments did not stop there. What a phenomenon. Read more about this fascinating innovator »
P.S. We picked the blue today to show you. It is such a lovely, traditional colour in the Wedgewood collection.
By the way, The letter “e” is used correctly in the spelling of Wedgewood pottery. Wedgwood refers to the man who created it. Love, Hattingdon.

Hey there. Take a look at this. This is the “Elena” hat that Vivian created for the 2023 Spring/Summer season. Simply stunning!
The name Elena is a girl’s name of Spanish, Italian, Greek origin meaning “bright, shining light”.
We love everything about the Elena hat. The colours for this hat were inspired by the artwork of Sveta Osborne shown below.

National Library Week 2023 — April 23rd through the 29th — is celebrating with the theme “There’s More to the Story.” Libraries are full of stories, in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more.
But before we go any further, first a hat. It is a wonderful fascinator made from books. Vivian named it Dewey, after the Dewey Decimal System.
Now, a few of the major contributions made by libraries to the benefit of mankind.
Since the ancient Roman Empire, libraries had a purpose to store different kinds of information, such as historical, literary, musical, military documents. Even though in the past 2,000 years many changes, and innovation have occurred, libraries have kept their main purpose to provide visitors with the information they are looking for and be certain about giving the truth.
Public libraries play an important role in supporting education and literacy. They provide countless resources, such as educational materials, trainings, courses, scientific publications, etc. to visitors. Public libraries provide their services not only face-to-face, but some of them have also integrated e-learning. Furthermore, several published studies confirmed that public libraries had a tremendous importance in every community by providing various services for educational purposes.
People come to libraries not only looking for information, but also, for finding themselves and their communities. Mothers join baby story-times clubs, elderly people attend events and find ways to connect with people. While teenagers meet up in libraries with their study groups for teambuilding or school projects and readers discuss current events in the periodical’s rooms.
Additionally, libraries serve as community centers for diverse populations by supporting non-English speakers to help them integrate into the community.
Furthermore, for artists and art enthusiasts, public libraries can provide a place to arrange exhibitions and to promote themselves.
Privacy is a growing concern in society these days. Data tracking systems that collect, compare and share information might affect consumers’ trust. However, all the services provided in public libraries are focused on consumers and not solely on revenue. That is why libraries do not track your reading history or which trainings you went to. It is simply not in the field of their interest.
Because libraries are free to use for patrons, not so many people consider the role they play in the economy. Public libraries provide access to information about business planning, market research and finance opportunities for entrepreneurs who are looking for spaces to network, conduct research, use technology, and arrange meetings. Even though job requirements are changing fast, it is possible to upskill the workforce without spending enormous amounts of money. Technology in libraries can be innovative, offering access to expensive tolls, training and skills that otherwise would not be available for everyone.
