Hello and welcome. We are having a lot of fun here rolling out our series of yellow hats. We selected ones that have always been fan favorites. Here is day 3’s hat. It is in a style that we call a “sweetheart hat”. We named it “Sunny”.

When Vivian created this particular silhouette, we did not know what to call it. Then someone said, “I don’t know what we should call it either, but it is a sweetheart of a hat.” And the description stuck.
Here we are on day 2 of our yellow hat parade. Today we have selected a sweet, open crown hat made with a wreath of buttery yellow daisies with brown centers. We named the design Jessie.

How sweet it is. See you back here soon for another yellow hat. Thank you visiting with us.
How about some cheery hats to distract us for a bit? The happiest color we can think of is yellow. So this week — from Monday 25th July through Saturday 30th July, we will feature Hattingdon in happy yellow hats.
It is Classic Hat Monday, so let us kick off the festivities with Hattingdon’s “Lacey” hat.

Yellow symbolizes happiness, warmth and sunshine in most cultures — characteristics of the yellow sun and its effects.
In 1908, candy maker George Smith created the first modern lollipop. According to his memoirs, he named the treat after his favorite racehorse: Lolly Pop.
National Lollipop Day is celebrated each year on July 20, and is the perfect day to celebrate hard candy, sweet treats, and being a kid.
Well, Hattingdon does not have a lollipop hat per se. BUT she does have a very pretty classic hat where a lollipop is featured. We named the design Melanie but no one around here calls it that — they call it the Lollipop hat. So we are sticking with it.

Isn’t she sweet?
History of the Lollipop
Jon Price, writing for CandyFavourites.com, states, “The first incarnation of the lollipop was probably created by cave people thousands of years ago who collected honey from beehives with a stick. Not wanting to waste the sweet nectar, they most likely licked the stick, thus inventing the world’s first lollipop. Good for them (good for us). “
“Archaeologists believe that ancient Chinese, Arabs, and Egyptians all produced fruit and nut confections that they ‘candied’ in honey, which serves as a preservative, and inserted sticks into to make easier to eat.”
What kind of lollipop are you celebrating with today?
