Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Good morning, and happy Monday.
It is a bit chilly and gray where we are. Regardless if it is rain or shine, here is a classic hat to brighten every day. Vivian named the hat Lacey.
Color Matters writes:
“Yellow is the most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. It’s the color that captures our attention more than any other color. It’s the color of happiness, and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity, sunshine and spring.”
First there was Curtis. Then there was Harper. And just before the arrival of the classic hat silhouette, there was Etienne.
Vivian decided to freshen up the Etienne hat . . . . just a little. It looks terrific, doesn’t it? There is something about the combination of red, white and blue.
Well. What do you think?
Oh, the name Etienne is, “A French variant of the Greek name Stephen meaning ‘garland, crown’.”
We love you and wish you a “hatful of smiles”. Stop by again soon. — Love, Hattingdon.
Hello, and welcome.
We decided to update the Alys hat. Here she is.
We hope this sweet hat cheers you, and brings you a “hatful of smiles”.
Did you know . . . butterflies taste with their feet?
Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet to help them find their host plants and locate food. A female butterfly lands on different plants, drumming the leaves with her feet until the plant releases its juices. Spines on the back of her legs have chemoreceptors that detect the right match of plant chemicals. When she identifies the right plant, she lays her eggs. A butterfly of any biological sex will also step on its food, using organs that sense dissolved sugars to taste food sources like fermenting fruit.”

Yellow is a luminous color that attracts light, exuberance, and freshness. We can’t help but be drawn in by its perky cheeriness.
As world history and Western symbology expert Michael Pastoureau noted in his book Yellow: The History of a Color, yellow shares a similar likeness to gold and honey, which epitomized pleasure and abundance in ancient cultures and religions. It also signified opulence since royals would wear it in their clothing.
If you feel yellow represents you, you may be someone who enjoys the thrill of a mental challenge and a wide variety of intellectual interests.
According to Nina Ashby, psychic and author of Simply Color Therapy, the color yellow is symbolized by the sun and represents joy, light, and mental positivity. Spiritually, the color yellow is also embodied by the solar plexus chakra—the seat of power and will.
Ashby points out yellow is associated with the mind and the logical, left side of the brain that organizes information.
