Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Hello there, and welcome. Do you fancy seeing a gorgeous new classic hat? We hope you do, because we have a darling one for you. She is oh so pretty. That sunny yellow is delicious!
We named her Lacey.
We love love love this hat, and hope you do too. Bye for now.
Love, Hattingdon Horses.
In 1908, candy maker George Smith revolutionized the candy world by creating a hard candy mounted on a stick, 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. It is a day to celebrate hard candy, sweet treats and being a kid.
Hattingdon does not have a “lollipop hat” per se, but she does have a very pretty classic hat inspired by the sweet lollipop Vivian created, seen below.
We named the design Lolly. Hattingdon fans call it the Lollipop hat. That’s cool. Here she is.
Isn’t she sweet? Love love love the colours. Oh. Before we go, here is a bit of lollipop history.
Jon Prince, 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 to make it easier to eat.”
What are your favourite lollipops? Let us know. Love, Hattingdon.

Greetings.
This is a very, very early classic hat, and one of our favourites. The colors are marvelous. Let’s start from the top.
The hat’s black dome is patterned in turquoise, magenta, lime and yellow polka dots, followed by a turquoise hatband, and a large magenta brim. Turquoise nosebobs complete the look!
Oh. Just for fun, the technical names of the colors used for the polka dots are dark cyan, magenta, alien armpit and electric yellow.
Alien armpit? Hard to believe, but yes, alien armpit. It is the green we used — hex code #66cc00. What a hoot. It gave us a good ol’ chuckle and we bet it will you too. Read about it here »
You see. We are more than “just pretty hats”. Wink.

Hello, and welcome to Classic Hat Monday.
Today we have the pleasure of introducing a brand new classic hat.
This design features a gorgeous green hat created in Vivian’s distinctive classic silhouette, and embellished with a decorative line and dot motif in crisp white. She named the hat Eileen.
So fresh looking. What a lovely way to start the week.
Love, Hattingdon & Co.
