Here is our Hattingdon wearing a lovely, bright summer fashion hat in stripes of hot pink, sky blue, lime green and pure white. She carries a matching pinwheel in the same bright colors. Hattingdon enthusiasts asked to please see this design before we get into Fall. Here she is. Sweet!

Hey, how about a poem while it is still summery? Composed by ©Destinee, here it is. It is called Missing Summer.

Missing Summer

Published by Family Friend Poems, November 2008, with permission of the Author.

The grass so green,
the sun so bright.
Life seems a dream,
no worries in sight.

Tans and tank tops,
laughter and bliss.
Each moment passes
without even a miss.

Friends and cookouts,
memories and laughs.
Good times to remember,
but how long will it last?

The grass soon fades,
leaves begin to fall.
School replaces sleepovers.
Oh, I’ll miss it all.

Lollipop classic

Blog HattingdonLeave a comment
Lollipop Hattingdon top featured image.

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.

History of the Lollipop

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.
