How about this look? Vivian created a social media inspired, tied headscarf, in black and white. And how about those shades? Bright and sunny — just like Hattingdon.

Skylar Hattingdon.

The name Skylar is of Dutch and English origin, meaning “scholar.” It also carries meanings like “eternal life,” “strength,” and “love,” making it a modern, versatile, and meaningful choice.  

Hattingdon is versatile alright. Wink! See you again soon.

With love, Hattingdon & Co.

Hello there. The Whitney design is a khaki tan and white hat with a matching button and a curious butterfly. Ain’t she sweet?

Hattingdon looks lovely in tan and white, doesn’t she? It turned out to be a lovely colour for her. Vivian was not sure how well it would work with Hattingdon’s brown body, but it did.

We also love love love the butterfly she created to go with the design. Very sweet.

Best wishes. See you again soon.

World Honey Bee Day

World Honey Bee Day is the third Saturday in August, on the 16th of this year, bringing a buzz of celebration for beekeepers, honey lovers, and all blooming things.

World Honey Bee Day began as National Honey Bee Day in 2009, with a proclamation issued by the Secretary of Agriculture, Thomas J. Vilsek. The day grew rapidly, bringing awareness to the benefits and environmental needs of honey bees.

The day recognizes both the honey bee and the beekeepers who tend the hives. It also encourages us to buy and enjoy locally grown honey whenever we can.

In honor of Honey Bee Day, Hattingdon is wearing her “Honey” fashion hat, along with two sweet honey bees. Darling.

Six ways to celebrate

  1. Collect and spread local wildflower seeds to promote honey bee pollination.
  2. Flavors of honey vary depending on the variety of flowers and nectar available to the bees.
  3. Clover, alfalfa, lavender, orange, and chestnut are just a few to choose from.
  4. Replace your usual sweetener with honey for the day. Taste the difference!
  5. Give the gift of honey to a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member.
  6. Share your sweet honey stories on social media tagging #WorldHoneyBeeDay.

The indispensable role of pollination

Bees are arguably the most important pollinators on the planet, facilitating the reproduction of countless plant species, including many that are essential for human food production. Their hairy bodies efficiently collect pollen, which they then inadvertently transfer from flower to flower as they forage for nectar, the sweet reward that fuels their activity. This process of pollination is essential for the production of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, underpinning both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems worldwide.

Support pollinators

When we plant wildflowers, orchards, and other flowering plants, we support pollinators such as honey bees. They depend on the nectar of a variety of plants for their survival. Conversely, we depend on honeybees for our survival, too! Without their pollinating abilities, many nutritious plants are unable to reproduce.
