Hattingdon, popcorn and a hat

Hattingdon loves the movies and watches them whenever she can. She also adores popcorn. It is her favourite snack.

Vivian decided to surprise her with a popcorn hat — a cinema inspired popcorn hat at that. Hattingdon decided to model it for the blog, as you can see coming up, just below.

From the look on her face you can see that she loves it. Vivian named the hat design Zea.

Zea

Isn’t she darling? How fun.

Name that hat

Insomuch as Vivian has to come up with a lot of names for all her hat designs (and there are hundreds of them by now), how does she do it? If she finds herself struggling, she will occasionally visit, say, a baby name website to see what folks are naming their new arrivals.

Here is what they say about the name Zea at The Bump website:

Zea, a girl’s name as timeless as the grain itself, is a delightful choice for your little one. With Latin and Greek origins, it carries the beautiful meaning of “grain,” “wheat,” and “spelts,” connecting your child to the oldest wholegrain crop in the world.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon. Love, Hattingdon & Co.

Colette

Just for you, Hattingdon is modeling a delightful new hat created by Vivian in a charming array of colours. The hat is very feminine, with a touch of the Tudor period, and highly fashionable. Let’s see them shall all . . . shall we? We named the hat “Colette”.

Colette in Orange — *Colette in Dark Orange*

Colette in Lilac — *Colette in Deep Lilac*

We hope you enjoyed these hats, and they gave you a “Hatful of Smiles.”

Love, Hattingdon.

• Reading is Fundamental

Hello there. You have heard that “reading is fundamental.” No doubt about it.

Founded in 1966 by Margaret McNamara, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) connects children with the joy of reading — to spark imaginations and possibilities — and putting kids on a path of reading proficiency.

RIF is the oldest and largest non-profit children’s literacy organization in the United States. RIF provides books and reading resources to children nationwide with supporting literacy resources for educators, families, and community volunteers.

• Library Week

Mark your calendars! National Library Week 2024 will be celebrated Sunday, April 7th through Saturday, April 13th.

Hattingdon is ready as you can see in one of her all-time favourites. We named the design Dewey. She looks positively darling.

Right to Read Day

Monday, April 8th is Right to Read Day, a National Day of Action in support of the right to read.

In response to the surge in book challenges, the American Library Association has designated every Monday of National Library Week as Right to Read Day, a day of action that encourages everyone to take concrete steps to fight back against censorship and protect and celebrate the right to read freely.

Join in on #RightToReadDay, and every day after, in fighting censorship, and supporting libraries and the dedicated staff who make them work.
