Hattingdon is lovely in a pink Chanel inspired saucer hat. Vivian named the hat Harper. But there is more to the story. She was not the very first Hattingdon. She was the second.
Harper is the second Hattingdon hat. Guess who the first is.
Curtis the First
Curtis was the first ever Hattingdon cartoon horse. Curtis merchandise did amazingly well. We saw Curtis tees all over the D.C. area, and a short time later received reports from folks that a lot of people in all parts of the country were wearing them. This helped us immensely in raising the funds necessary to rescue horses at all levels of risk, and take action for their safety.
For those of you who have not seen Curtis, here he is — always Vivian’s first love. Sigh.
Isn’t he handsome?
Then off she went. Vivian began creating so many hats, she needed to name them in some way or other. So she decided to give each hat design its own identifing name.
Happy Flashback Friday. Thank you for visiting with us.
