Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Hey there. Hattingdon is wearing a very classy classic hat today. Marvelous. Vivian named the design Paige.
The hat’s rounded dome is chiefly black, with stripes in white and taupe at its base, and continuing on to the brim. Black nosebobs complete the look.
We hope you have enjoyed it with us. — Hattingdon & Co.

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!

The Peppermint Classic hat is inspired by the festive peppermint colors of red, green and yellow of Christmas. Here she is. Sweeeeeet!
Although peppermint sticks come in a variety of colors, the first ones were made in red and white.
Candy canes are an iconic symbol of Christmas. Their red and white stripes adorn trees and homes during the holidays while their minty flavor delights taste buds.
According to the National Confectionery Association, a U.S.-based group that advocates for the confectionery industry, candy canes are the No. 1 selling non-chocolate candy in the month of December—90 percent are sold between U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas.
There’s some mystery surrounding the origins of candy canes because there are no exact records of their invention. One well-regarded story suggests that in 1670, a choirmaster in Cologne, Germany, gave out sugar sticks to the children as a way to soothe them during the long nativity ceremony.
The choirmaster asked a local candy maker for the sugar sticks to be turned into a hook so they resemble the shape of a shepherd’s staff. Shepherds are common symbols in the Christian faith and can be seen in the Christian story of the birth of Christ.
An alternative theory suggests the hook was invented simply to make the candy sticks easier to hang on Christmas trees.
