Although eggs were a symbol of fertility and rebirth in pagan cultures, Easter eggs were used by early Christians to symbolize parts of the Easter story. The hard shell represents the sealed tomb and the cracking of the egg represents Jesus’ resurrection.
“Yellow is the most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. It’s the color that captures our attention more than any other color. It’s the color of happiness, and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity, sunshine and spring.”
First there was Curtis. Then there was Harper. And just before the arrival of the classic hat silhouette, there was Etienne.
Vivian decided to freshen up the Etienne hat . . . .just a little. It looks terrific, doesn’t it? There is something about the combination of red, white and blue.
Etienne.
Well. What do you think?
Oh, the name Etienne is, “A French variant of the Greek name Stephen meaning ‘garland, crown’.”
We love you and wish you a “hatful of smiles”. Stop by again soon. — Love, Hattingdon.
We hope this sweet hat cheers you, and brings you a “hatful of smiles”.
Butterfly Fact
Did you know . . . butterflies taste with their feet?
Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet to help them find their host plants and locate food. A female butterfly lands on different plants, drumming the leaves with her feet until the plant releases its juices. Spines on the back of her legs have chemoreceptors that detect the right match of plant chemicals. When she identifies the right plant, she lays her eggs. A butterfly of any biological sex will also step on its food, using organs that sense dissolved sugars to taste food sources like fermenting fruit.”
