Nat’l Plum Pudding Day

Blog HattingdonLeave a comment

Hello there. Not sure why we are celebrating plum pudding in February, except it is listed on the National Day Calendar!

Hattingdon’s not complaining. She adores her plum pudding hat. Here she is, modeling it just for you.

The name Christmas pudding is first recorded in 1858 in a novel by Anthony Trollope.

What’s in it?

Plum pudding is usually made up of nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, cinnamon, and dates, along with other ingredients.  In England, traditionally every person in the home holds onto the wooden spoon together to help stir the batter. While they are stirring, they also make a wish!  Plum pudding is also called plum duff.

See you again soon.

Hope you had a fun Halloween. Here is what Hattingdon chose to wear. It’s brand new! Named Cleo.

As you can see the hat — or headpiece — is modeled on Egyptian headwear, adorned with a big, black bat with extended wings and dangling charms of gold. What a combination, what a look . . . . and deliciously fun!

See you again here soon.

Hello there Hattingdonians. We can hardly wait for Halloween, can you? Especially love the goodies, the parties and fresh crisp air. And dressing up!

Vivian has already made Hattingdon’s costume for the day itself. It is so fun, and brand spanking new. Take a look. Isn’t it “flash?”

A “hatful of smiles” from us to you. Love, Hattingdon & Co.

Hello there. I have been away so long, I guess you could just say I was almost — long gone. But I am back now, for a bit anyway.

Considering the darling hat I am wearing, let’s just say I have “gone shopping”! Tis the Season. . . . right? What have you been up to?
