Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Hello there. Good to see you. We are “marching on” with a lovely new green and white classic hat. We named the new hat Eileen.
The Eileen hat features rows of white decorative lines and dots at the lower part of of the dome and across the center of the brim. Sweeeeeet!
We hope you enjoyed seeing it. Come back and see us again soon.
Love, Hattingdon & Co.

Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the Americas and elsewhere, and a federal holiday in the United States, which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. He went ashore at Guanahaní, an island in the Bahamas, on October 12, 1492
On his return in 1493, he moved his coastal base of operations 70 miles east to the island of Hispaniola, what is now the Dominican Republic and established the settlement of La Isabela, the first permanent Spanish settlement in the Americas. Source: Wikipedia.
We are celebrating Columbus Day with Hattingdon’s Quinn sweetheart hat.
Anchor’s away . . . right? Happy Columbus Day everyone!
From us to you, have a safe and happy day. We give thanks for all the bountiful goodness we receive, especially our freedom. Our gratitude is great.
Oh, glorious day of freedom won,
With banners high and spirits bright,
We honor those whose deeds are done,
Their courage shining in the light.
The sky adorned with bursts of cheer,
As fireworks paint the heavens bold,
Reminding us of those held dear,
Their stories in our hearts retold.
From sea to shining sea, we see,
The dream of freedom in our eyes.
Oh, Independence Day we hail,
In freedom’s light, we persevere.
This ode celebrates the 4th of July, paying tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom. It reflects the collective pride and unity experienced during this special day.

Those who celebrate Canada as their home and native land observe Canada Day on the 1st of July. The day commemorates the anniversary of the Constitution Act, which consolidated three territories into the single nation of Canada in 1867.
We salute this very special day with a very special Hattingdon — a saucer hat in the red and white of Canada’s flag, featuring an exquisitely large and gorgeous maple leaf.
We named the hat “Charlotte”. Here she is.
Charlotte Hattingdon.
Until 1982, Canada celebrated Dominion Day as their national holiday. The day was then renamed ‘Canada Day.’
The history of Canada isn’t splattered with a ton of wars and bloodshed, unlike many other countries. Throughout the mid-1800s, the possibility of unification between the British North American colonies was discussed.
On July 1, 1867, the British Parliament brought the British North America Act into effect, leading to the creation of independent Canada.
The territories within the dominion consisted of Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Through this act, Canada was divided into Quebec and Ontario, allowing provisions for neighboring colonies to join in the future. This is how present-day Canada came into formation. The British North America Act served as the constitution for Canada until 1982. Read more at National Today »
The maple leaf became the central national symbol with the introduction of the Canadian flag (suggested by George F. G. Stanley and sponsored by MP John Matheson) in 1965, which uses a highly stylized eleven-pointed maple leaf, referring to no specific species of maple. Earlier official uses of a maple leaf design often used more than 30 points and a short stem.
The one chosen is a generic maple leaf representing the ten species of the maple tree native to Canada — at least one of these species grows natively in every province. Wikipedia »
Best wishes for a wonderful day!
Love, Hattingdon
